Below are two videos that represent excerpts from last night’s True Blood Panel at PaleyFest 2011. The portion of the panel that is included represent some of the questions asked of Alex, Stephen, Anna and Alan.

Just watched the first video. Thanks so much for posting! I loved Stephen’s story about the head twisting scene. He’s always so funny. I’m so intrigued by what Bill’s storyline will be this season. AB has a blank slate to work on with his character, and it is truly exciting. No doubt Stephen will shine with whatever material is presented.

Wonderful, wonderful Stephen!! Yes come back to Europe, we need you here. The winters have been so cold since you moved away, somebodys got to heat us up a bit!!

Thanks this was great, looking forward to any other tidbits.
I was a leetle disappointed in the “say Sookie” thing AGAIN, but Stephen made the response so funny and sweet that I guess I shouldn’t complain. Loved his “diddums” faces in response to Alex’s story of Eric’s plight.
They were all fun to listen to.

Thanks, Lynn, you did a great job with these. I love the easy camaraderie among the cast. I so enjoyed Stephen’s story about the f**k puppet, his *sookie* speak, also Eric’s lost tale (and Stephen’s accompanying face), Anna’s attempt to answer without giving anything away. Fun, fun, fun. Appreciate your hard work in bringing the vids to us.

As always great job Lynn and thank you. Can y’all hearing me screaming STEPHEN!!! ? It’s obvious the cast has great affection and respect for each other.

I loved it – great videos Lynn! Stephen is gorgeous, charming and funny as usual. I could listen to him all day.

great to hear about stephen’s upcoming direotorial gigs. he was so humble and seemed reticent to be singled out. (you are special stephen, deal with it!!) i never tire of his gravel-throated ‘sookee’. loved his analysis of head-twisting sex. it really changed my perception of the scene. they should let stephen explain all of the episodes!
great job on the vids lynn. (it is clear that your life totally sucks!)

ITA about letting Stephen explain the scenes. They need to let him do commentary on all the episodes on the DVD’s!

Great vids Lynn! Stephen never ceases to entertain a crowd! Funny stuff!

These videos are terrific – thanks so much! I love hearing the screams for Stephen ! How gorgeous is that man !
Alex looks so relaxed, and he’s enjoying himself. I think he has learned to relax from Stephen. They are friends, and Stephen’s been around longer, especially in the business, so he’s a great role model for this type of appearance. (OK, he’s a great role model, period!)

this is all as new to Stephen as it is to Alex. But don’t forget that Alex was a child actor, he’s been in business longer then Stephen.

Shad – yes, Alex was a child actor, but dropped out as a teenager when he became uncomfortable with the attention. And I think perhaps it was a little different with Stephen, being in the theater, and moving into those British TV dramas-a little less frenzied.
Perhaps it’s just his personality – he has always seemed more relaxed and naturally witty with interviews. Alex is very nice, but seems more tense, on guard. At this event he looks like he’s actually having a good time. So nice to see.
