True Blood’s Sam Trammell, the complicated shape-shifter Sam Merlotte, hosted a party to celebrate the premiere of True Blood last week at Gallery Nightclub in Planet Hollywood.
While there, Sam chatted with Don Chareunsy, an editor of VegasDeLuxe and arts and entertainment editor of LasVegasSun about the Season 5, Luna and Andy Bellefleur.
Don Chareunsy: What’s in store for Sam Merlotte in Season 5 of “True Blood”?
Sam Trammell: It’s a very dangerous year for Sam. He’s got werewolves after him, and this complicates his relationship with Luna. And there are others. Many ups and downs and twists and turns — and plenty of shifting.
D.C.: How are you most like your character? Least like him?
S.M.: I’m a fairly private person, like Sam Merlotte. I’m from Louisiana, as well. Of course, I can’t shift into animals, at least not that I know of.
D.C.: If you could be another character on “True Blood,” who would it be and why?
S.M.: I’d be Andy Bellefleur. I think Chris Bauer is an amazing actor, and his character always makes me laugh.
D.C.: You seem to host Las Vegas nightclub events at least once a year. What do you like to do when you’re in Las Vegas?
S.M.: I always see a show and have dinner at a nice place and stay out very late. I’m not a huge gambler, but I love to play poker.
D.C.: If you could shift into anything, what would it be?
S.M.: Given the traffic here today (in L.A.), I’d have to say a bird.
