Could he end up playing Nudie, the vampire so powerful, he never wears clothes?

TV LINE/ Michael Ausiello:

That noise you hear is the sound of Twitter exploding into a million little pieces over the following news: Chris Meloni is being courted to join the cast of True Blood. TVLine has learned exclusively that the former Law & Order: SVU front man is circling what my sources are calling a “major role” in the show’s upcoming fifth season.

But what role? An HBO rep declined to comment, but I hear Meloni — who’s currently shooting a top-secret role in The Man of Steel — is in talks to play (duh) an incredibly powerful vampire.

If a deal comes to pass, this would be a major casting coup for True Blood. It would also mark a high-profile return to the small screen for Meloni following his sudden departure from SVU last spring.

Some of you LOVE him… and some of you just can’t stand the boy. But for you who love… here’s Ben answering questions (and smoking a joint).

MANHUNT:
Godfre touches upon a variety of topics in this segment, including his views on sexuality, bondage, porn, gay rights and what it feels like to be lusted after by so many horny guys. He doesn’t shy away from the difficult questions, which makes us very excited to watch the next part of this interview. We saved all the juicy questions for last!

Keep your fingers crossed that Benjamin answers your next batch of questions in his underwear. We’re trying to get him to spread his butt cheeks like Marko Lebeau, but he seems way too classy for that shit. Oh well! We’ll take what we can get. Maybe a crotch thrust or two toward the camera? Some casual self-groping? Not that we’re pushing or anything.
