True Blood Is About The Characters
Lafayette, the character in Charlaine Harris' second book is killed in the book, but is making big on screen in the Season Two of True Blood. "Lafayette is very small in the book," Ball comments. "Nelsan Ellis, the actor we cast, channeled something from somewhere that is kind of amazing.
I definitely knew Jason had to be a great character actor [Ryan Kwanten plays the role]. I think all the major characters I knew were going to be really, really strong and really, really compelling, but I think Nelsan is the one [who was most surprising] - I had no idea that that would happen."
In the future, when we get to other creatures that might appear, I don't want to do that same old stuff. What's important is the characters. The effects are just the shorthand to get us from one stage to another.
But we will never be about the effects. I mean, it's less interesting to me how [Bill's] face might change or what exactly are the mechanics of the fangs coming down - although we have really thought about that - than the fact that he's been alive for a hundred and seventy years, most of them as a vampire, and his wife and children, who he loved deeply, he outlived them.

He's outlived everybody. He's in a changing world and he's given up on the idea of having any sort of love in his life until he meets this girl. That to me is way more interesting than what [growing fangs] looks like. - 23806
