He's played vampire Bill in American drama True Blood since 2008, although he's no stranger to televisual vampires having appeared in two episodes of Ultraviolet in 1998.
Quote:
'I'll get 10 or 11-year-olds coming up and asking for my autograph, and I say, ‘Have you seen that show?' and they go, ‘Yeah, love it.' I couldn't sit in the same room as my mother and watch that show. I mean, it's seriously racy!'
