Stephen Moyer (dear old Bill from True Blood) was just on the Jonathan Ross show. Seems like a very nice bloke. Good sense of humour. He's actually from Brentwood in Essex, and sounds like it. Ross asked him how he 'perfected' his Deep South accent, which I'm sure will amuse shipperx. :) He also demonstrated the vampire teeth, which was hilarious, especially when he put on a Bruce Forsyth face.

He and Anna Paquin are engaged, he says. Aww! Also, he says that he's got so used to doing steamy sex scenes with her on the show that when they're alone together getting it on, he finds he misses the camera crew. :)

Also, for shipperx and any other X-Files fans who might have missed it, this wonderful wallpaper from marvelgirl_art.

Using the Bill/Sookie icon seems even more ironic than usual today. :)

ETA: A-and I seem to have become addicted to using :) as a smiley face. Huh!

It's amazing isn't it. I really didn't realise he was British.

Just finished watching episode 2 of Tru Blood. You will just love it! *g*

[shapinglight]

You didn't realise?

Really?

I know I'll love True Blood 2 and Caprica. I just wish I could see them now!

I thought I read that he was Australian ... Sounds like fun, I'll try and catch it on the repeat.

[shapinglight]

It was fun. He was a very funny man. Not at all like Bill, who seems to have had a sense of humour lobotomy at some point.

It's his age catching up with him, I expect.

Stephen seems lovely, and he and Anna make a great couple. They met on the show and have been together for quite some time now. :)

I seem to be addicted to the smiley face emoticon too! *g*

I keep telling myself not to do it, because I'm sure it must be annoying, but I can't. :)

Aargh! Done it again.

And Stephen does seem very nice, though I'm not terrifically keen on Bill or Bill/Sookie. I'd say I'm fond of him rather than that I like him.

Yes, that's exactly how I feel.

Thanks.

Sookie and Bill amuse me. In a lot of ways, they shouldn't. Their oh-so-very-earnest thing for one another should hit all the wrong buttons. But somehow it just 'fits' them and I laugh in a not-mean-spirited way.

Although, if it follows the books, they're doomed (at least for some period of time).

Still, horrid accents and all, they amuse me.

[shipperx.livejournal.com]

That and the awful flashbacks. :)

[kassto.livejournal.com]

I remember him in his first vampire role in Ultraviolet. Typecast!

LOL. He sounds like a very entertaining guy. I was lukewarm on True Blood to start with but now I really enjoy it.

Yes, I have the :) as a smiley face problem too. I do try to check I haven't used it too often but I do find it helps to indicate tone.

[samson28.livejournal.com]

I too am addicted to the smiley! :)

[ex_peasant441]

There are worse things to be addicted to than smiley faces. In fact, given the current state of gloom we should all cast aside our British reserve and go nuts.

Oo-oh boy! That was him? Of course! He played the policeman fiance turned vampire villain, didn't he?

[kassto.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, and what a very unpleasant character he was too (both before and after vamping). Not like dear old Civil War Bill. Icon shows poor old Jack Davenport after being bitten by his former best mate. Thought it was a very interesting show, the first vampire TV show I'd seen. (I think it came out parallel to the first season or so of Buffy but a completely different tone.) Jack Davenport got the gig on the strength of his performance in This Life. The writer of Ultraviolet, Joe Ahearne, directed and wrote on This Life and later went on to direct Dr Who episodes.

I enjoyed Ultraviolet. I was disappointed there was only one series.

[shapinglight]

Heh! So the flashbacks continue to be awful in season 2?

[shapinglight]

Their oh-so-very-earnest thing for one another should hit all the wrong buttons. But somehow it just 'fits' them and I laugh in a not-mean-spirited way.

It's like a good-natured parody of Bangel. Or possibly Twilight the movie, not sure.

Still, horrid accents and all, they amuse me.

I did wonder how Jonathan Ross could think he was a good judge of how good Stephen Moyer's accent was.

[shapinglight]

I was lukewarm on True Blood to start with but now I really enjoy it.

I've liked it from the very first episode. It was the title sequence that sucked me in. So well done.

Plus, I loved all the political stuff going on in the background. Couldn't help remembering Buffy's sarcastic comment about vampires and did we have to call them 'undead Americans now?' In True Blood, that really is the case.

[shapinglight]

I suppose there are worse things to be addicted too. :)

[shapinglight]

You're probably right, though they look sort of weird like that.
