British actor Rob Kazinsky has joined the cast of HBO‘s vampire drama True Blood as new regular for the upcoming sixth season. He will play Ben, a highly charismatic faerie who takes a liking to Sookie (and vice-versa) and helps Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Jason (Ryan Kwanten) delve deeper into the mystery of their parents’ murders. Kazinsky, repped by Gersh and Brillstein Entertainment, spent two years on the popular British soap EastEnders. He will next be seen in Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim.

Here we go again. Another forign invasion. Can’t find any good “American” SAG-AFTRA actors to fill any roles.
Crap actor too. Saw him in EastEnders he was awful.
Welcome to the new casting world, its a global game now where the BEST person for the role gets the job…has nothing to do with what country they’re from. Don’t get bitter….get better!
No. NOT better. American Executives & CDs are lazy. BTW… ya can’t hold down a job elswhere ’cause ya got the boot.
Ok cant they hire more southern actors? Regulars are great with the accents but id like to see Billybob Thorton as a vamp lmao.
I don’t care who they hire as long as they can promise me this season will not suck like the last one. I’ve never bashed this show, but last season? Unforgivably pedestrian considering the quality of previous seasons and what we’ve come to expect. That cheesy, cheap, fairy nightclub alone with the silly dancing and horrid clothes ought to have forced some heads to roll. Awful.
He was brilliant in eastenders and he is a great actor! I gave up on true blood but will totally try again to see Rob!
To the first comment about foreign invasion. We see things differently here in the UK,
In the words of our greatest ever playwrite “The worlds a stage….” Shakespeare.
I suggest you read some to broaden that narrow mind of yours. It’s worked for us Brits!
He certainly looks like a charismatic fairy to me.
Sookie needs some fresh meat! And I agree, last season was a bit messy….
Can’t wait to see him take it all off! Amazing body! Who cares if he can act or not? Have you seen his bod? Makes me want to howl! Ah Whooooo!
Ok to all the folks who say rob is a crap actor get over yourselves, did your mama never teach you if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all? The Guy knows his stuff, he can’t help it having an extra bonus of hotness with his cute face & amazing body! You made it Rob , well done
I growing tired of fake southern accents . Can you not find someone holds the charm and the charisma of southern gentle person ? Even if their are some what short of being human. Bill has become a bit of a bore . Sookie is down right stupid . Last season was disappointing . However Eric is a keeper.
