Hey Eric & Sookie Lovers!

HBO sent out a press release to the TV Fanatic yesterday, telling us nothing really spoiler-ish, but they did reveal this at the end…

New cast members include: Courtney Ford as lawyer Portia Bellefleur, Andy’s sister; Vedette Lim as Tara’s new friend Naomi; Alexandra Breckenridge as Katerina, one of Marnie’s followers; and Gary Cole as Earl Stackhouse.

Earl Stackhouse? Sookie’s grandfather?!? It’s safe to assume this appearance will take place via flashback, but it’s still intriguing to consider.

Cole is a veteran actor who most recently appeared in Entourage and Chuck. To many, though, he’ll forever be known as Bill Lumbergh from Office Space. So… yeah… it’s safe to say we’re excited about his casting.
