Denis O'Hare on Returning to TRUE BLOOD

Stage and screen star Denis O'Hare will return to HBO's 'True Blood' this season as former vampire king 'Russell Edgington.' O'Hare revealed to TheInsider.com: "In a strange way, Russell is actually a lot funnier this season. He's not toothless, but he's a little more of a comic foil ... until he isn't. And then he becomes very, very vicious again. Which I love."

He added: "I get to dance, I get to hold a puppy and I get to sing karaoke -- a great 70s classic, not all at the same time, mind you."

True Blood season five will premiere on HBO on June 10 at 9pm.
