Lafayette Reveals ‘True Blood’ Secrets

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

(NY Post’s PopWrap, 4/29/09)  If Bill Compton is the “True Blood” character you’d most like to be bitten by and Jason Stackhouse is the one you’d most like to go drinking with, then the fabulously flamboyant Lafayette Reynolds is easily who you’d most like to be friends! Not only is he tapped in to everyone and everything but he isn’t afraid to spill some secrets.

And that’s exactly what Lafayette does on “True Blood’s” upcoming Blu-ray DVD release (May 19). Starring in his own version of Pop Up Video, Lafayette appears periodically throughout the season’s 12 episodes to offer up his take on what’s going down with the most scandalicious Bon Temps residents. From Tara’s crush on Jason to what really goes bump in the night, Lafayette doesn’t hold back from getting dishy on his neighbors.

Starting May 4 — and continuing throughout the month — HBO On Demand is giving viewers a sneak peek of the DVD’s special features as they can watch “True Blood’s” entire first episode in “enhanced viewing” mode and PopWrap has your exclusive sneak peek at some of Lafayette’s best bits!
