True Blood Season 2′s character Eggs Benedict was probably the real love of Tara Thornton’s life, but unfortunately he met the true death at the end of the season. Mechad Brooks played the part well and below is a portion of an interview with Mechad where he talks about True Blood:
Q: How did you train differently for True Blood compared to Necessary Roughness? – Uinterview
A: I just try to make sure that I aim for a shape and look the part. The character I was in True Blood was obviously a pretty big guy. I wanted to be big and I worked out. In this one, I had to try to be thinner. I’m working a lot more. I ended up having to fast every seven days.
Q: You were famously a Calvin Klein underwear model. What was that experience like and do you still have a connection with them? – Uinterview
A: Yeah, I’m still very cool with the whole company. They’re great people, they’re like a corporate family. They’re laid back. I can stop by the office and they’re great, they are just amazing people. The actual campaign was such a dream for me. So I just sort of just worked hard to try to go for that and one day I was talking to my manager at the premiere of True Blood actually. I said, ‘I think I have an 8 pack in that. I think you can give this to Calvin Klein!’ He was like, ‘You know what, I think you’re right.” We actually went after them!
