Vampire: Eric Northman
Played by: Alexander Skarsgard in True Blood
Bite size: The local boss of all the vampires in his corner of Louisiana, Eric’s all about sampling the darker side of vampire life, by hooking up with ‘fang-bangers’, running his own vamp club and pretty much lusting after Sookie every opportunity he gets.
Bloodthirst: Known for biting and discarding humans at will, Eric discovers his softer side when he falls for Sookie, spilling, “He can be quite loyal, and somewhere deep inside there are actually feelings. He’s also very focused and very determined, especially when he gets the chance to avenge someone he lost many centuries ago.”
Vamp-ability: The ruthless Eric is stronger than Bill, with what Alexander calls “an animalistic quality” concerning his stealth attacks. “You don’t show your teeth, you don’t say anything, you don’t show it,” he says of his approach. “Anything could happen.”
