The second season of True Blood is now airing on HBO with a new, Bible-thumping vampire fighter in town. He’s played by 27-year-old actor and Baton Rouge native Wes Brown. The Parkview Baptist and LSU alum signed on to the series earlier this year for a six-episode arc. True Blood is set in a fictional, Southern Gothic version of Louisiana just a few years after vampires have gone public and “come out of the coffin.” Oscar winner Anna Paquin stars as an outspoken waitress at a roadhouse in the town of Bon Temps. While filmed mostly in Los Angeles, the production did relocate to the Baton Rouge and New Orleans areas for several weeks of location shooting back in February.
