True Blood has made its first major Season 6 hire, and it’s pretty
bloody fangtastic.
Acting vet Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner) is joining the HBO
smash as a series regular, TVLine has learned exclusively.
Hauer will play Macklyn, a mysterious and sinister figure with deep
ties to Sookie and Jason.
Hauer is well known for his portrayal of Blade Runner‘s Roy Batty,
a renegade robot trying to evade capture in Ridley Scott’s classic sci-fi film.
But the Dutch actor has a varied resume that includes parts in movies like
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Batman Begins and Sin City and guest roles in TV’s
Smallville and Alias. In 1988, he won a Golden Globe for his work in the TV
movie Escape From Sobibor.
True Blood‘s sixth season is slated to premiere in June.
