British actress Lucy Griffiths has landed her first American series. The 25-year-old will join the upcoming season of HBO’s hit True Blood as a new regular. On Alan Ball’s vampire drama, she will play Nora, the centuries-old vampire “sister” of Eric (Alexander Skarsgard) who is working as a double agent within the Vampire Authority. Griffiths, best known for her starring role as Maid Marian on the first two seasons of the BBC drama Robin Hood, first grabbed the attention of U.S. TV talent scouts last year when she was signed by CBS in a talent deal. That resulted in her being cast as the lead in the CW zombie pilot Awakening. Griffiths is with U.S.’ Paul Kohner and Principal and the UK’s Hamilton/Hodell.

Can’t wait to see her naked!
She was awesome on Robin Hood — hope she gets to kick some ass on True Blood now too – -good score…
Sigh.
Like there aren’t already enough British and Australian actors hogging the shrinking number of America acting jobs in the USA?
I mean seriously? There wasn’t a single American actress to fill the shoes of this part?
THEY TOOK OUR JOBS!
Sadly, many American actresses are obsessed with plastic and botox which kills their facial expressions to really act as well as having an air of self importance and arrogance about them. The art of acting is an dwindling skill in America lol
It’s official. All doe-eyed British women are named Lucy.
Oh god no. Worst actress ever.
errr, you’re a total idiot. If you’re going to lay into someone at least have the decency to leave your name. Lucy is a great actress and she’ll totally smash the role. For. Sure.
I love Lucy!
Can’t wait to see her again, was depressed when she was run through with a sword on Robin Hood, I sure don’t wish to witness another death by Lucy. Lucy, good name for someone in a vampire saga…., to bad thats not her name on, the show. Heres hoping that lucy doesn’t have a stake in the show…. Little joke.
