Now, all of a sudden, along with the emergence of official photos from HBO, there seems to be a name change for Rutger Hauer’s character.
Say hello to Niall Brigant.
Fans of the Southern Vampire Mystery novels will be familiar with this name. Niall is in fact someone very dear to Sookie. It will be interesting to see just how closely HBO will follow the books in relation to this character.
What do you think about the name change? Let us know in the comments below.
