True Blood actors and the charities they support – Part 1

Posted by Shadaliza On January - 20 - 2011

Over the years we have come to learn more and more about the True Blood actors; their work, their passions and the charitable causes they support. Some support their charities quietly, almost hidden from the public eye, while others Twitter and Facebook and have become an icon for the organization of their choice.

In Part 1 of  True Blood actors and the charities they support we take a look at Anna Paquin, Stephen Moyer, Alexander Skarsgård, Sam Trammell and Kristin Bauer.

Anna Paquin attended several charity events over the past few years with her husband,  but one organization that must be particularly close to Anna’s heart is Good Dog Animal Rescue. Her 2009 birthday present was Banjo, a mixed breed “rescue” dog from the Los Angeles animal shelter. Only months after receiving the lively pup Anna and Stephen attended a beneficiary event for Good Dog Animal Rescue as honorary guests.

In the photo on the left you can see Anna wearing the “I rescued my best friend” t-shirt that are sold by the shelter.

The Good Dog Animal Rescue provides shelter, care and love for the unprotected, the neglected and the abused. The volunteers at the rescue center work 24 hrs. and day 7 days a week to care for these cats and dogs and try to find them a home where they can be a part of a family again.

Stephen Moyer’s charitable causes vary from Brentwood Theatre of which he is patron to support of the Darnell family. Earlier this year he was honored by an organization however we didn’t know he was involved with.

Stephen received the Friends of CLARE Tribute Award in recognition of his ongoing support of the CLARE Foundation’s vital mission and programs.

The CLARE Foundation is a nonprofit organization providing compassionate treatment and recovery services for alcoholism and substance abuse to individuals, families, and the community.

Alexander Skarsgård actively supports his football team Hammarby and SOS Children’s Villages, but his charity of choice is Amnesty International. He has donated several personal items to be auctioned of for A.I. including one of his favorite t-shirts (see photo).

Amnesty International is a global movement of 2.8 million supporters, members and activists in more than 150 countries and territories who campaign to end grave abuses of human rights.

Sam Trammell loves to surf, so it’s not surprising that the charities he supports aims to protect our oceans. Sam actively supports Project Save our Surf, Surfrider and Oceana.

Oceana is the largest international organization focused solely on ocean conservation, protecting marine ecosystems and endangered especies. Sam has attended numerous Oceana charity events with his girlfriend Missy Yager and participated in their celebrity surf fundraiser.

Kristin Bauer‘s love for animals even brought her to Capitol Hill to lobby for the protection of whales. The IFAW and especially their whale protection program is definitely the charity organization Kristin is most involved with.

Her passion  inspired her husband Abri van Straten to write a song for the whales and donate a part of the profits of his latest CD to IFAW. As ambassador for IFAW’s whale protection program she spoke out on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day in defense of the whales at the Rally to Protect Whales in Washington, DC.

The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is one of the largest animal welfare and conservation organizations in the world.

Alexander Skarsgård is very proud of his brother

L-R The brothers Skarsgård: Gustaf, Bill and Alexander

Translation of an extract of this article and as posted on Skarsgardnews.com:

Alexander Skarsgård has already taken Hollywood by storm. But now his younger brother Bill, 20, may get an Oscar before him.
Yesterday, the brothers gathered together at the Scandinavian Film Festival in Los Angeles.

I’m 34 years old and I feel incredibly old, says Alexander Skarsgård.

When the Swedish Academy entry Simple Simon was shown on “The Writer’s Guild Theatre in Beverly Hills this weekend both Alexander, 34, Gustaf, 30, and Bill Skarsgård, 20, were present. Afterwards the younger brother Bill was hailed for his portrayal of Simon, who in the film has Asperger Syndrome – by both the audience and his older brother.

I’m so proud of Bill. It is the first time I’ve seen the movie. I was at home in Sweden for a week around Christmas and then I saw him in Behind Blue Skies. He was great in that movie as well, says Alexander Skarsgård.

The movie made the older brother feel old.

The people who made this movie are a bunch of 20-25 year olds. I am impressed by the script, drama, music and acting. Everything is very well done. I’m a proud older brother today.

Skarsgårdnews.com is offering fans a chance to own Alexander Skarsgård’s personal, signed copy of Charlaine Harris’s book Dead Until Dark.

Film star Javier Bardem was chosen by GQ’s British edition as its top best-dressed man internationally, followed by Indian-born Sikh jewelry designer and actor Waris Ahluwalia and Alexander Skarsgard, Swedish star of the hit U.S. television vampire show “True Blood.”
