Here is an excerpt:

Is it true you sought out Kwanten to play Jason Stackhouse?

It is. I went to see this movie called Flicka, a family movie about a brother and sister and a horse, and he was the handsome, charming, not-so-intellectually developed brother. He was Jason. I called my casting director that day.

So Kwanten is particularly good at playing dummies?

Ryan is tremendously underrated. I think that because he is so good at portraying Jason, who is not the brightest bulb in the drawer, people tend to think that that just must be who he is … Ryan is actually really intelligent. He’s a really eloquent, deep, smart guy but he doesn’t have the vanity to feel like he has to let us know that he is not as dim as Jason. I also admire Ryan’s ability in a very clean, very economic way to let you know exactly what his character is thinking.

Here is an excerpt:

Ball explained, “I think ‘True Blood’ could run longer than ‘Six Feet Under’ [also created by Ball] because of the supernatural element. There’s just so many areas to create stories that we didn’t have on ‘Six Feet Under’. Literally by the fourth season we started to hit the wall. It was like what about –oh no we did that in season two. But because of the supernatural element in ‘True Blood’ I feel like it could continue much longer.”
