More True Blood Casting Scoop!


Meet Lafayette's mom: It's Alfre Woodard!

The Emmy-winning actress has been tapped to guest star on Alan Ball's vampire drama "True Blood" as the mother of Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis), the cook at Merlotte's who got busted for selling vampire blood and held captive and tortured by Eric (Alexander Skarsgard).

Since Lafayette and Tara (Rutina Wesley) are cousins, it means that Sookie's best friend would be getting a visit from her aunt.

Woodard, repped by ICM and D/F Management, recently joined TNT's dramedy pilot "Delta Blues" in a co-starring role opposite Jason Lee.
