True Blood's Kevin Alejandro Dishes On His Mysterious Character

Kevin Alejandro Shedding Some Light on his Character

When fans first met Jesus, Lafayette's season 3 love interest on True Blood, they knew that there was something more behind his sweet smile and good intentions. Kevin Alejandro, who plays the mysterious man Lafayette has fallen for, confirms fans' suspicions. Kevin is quick to say that there is something up with Jesus and it was uncovered on the season finale, which aired Sunday September 12 at 9 on HBO. About the season finale, all Kevin said was,

"I was very surprised, and it's really awesome what I get to do...It's actually going to be a really great finale...There are a lot of stories that get wrapped up and some new ones that get introduced."

Before landing the part of Jesus, the Texas native and his wife were big fans of the show. He was quite awed by working with so many great actors. As for playing a gay character, Kevin noted,

"We all do this because we want to do something outside ourselves and be part of something bigger than us and something great. 'True Blood,' it's an amazing show."

Another perk about working on the hit series is learning from his fellow actors. He says he has learned so much from Nelsan Ellis, who portrays Lafayette, by simply watching him at work. The 34 year old will return to True Blood for the season four as well as continue his role as Detective Nate Moretta on TNT's Southland when they start up their 3rd season next year. This fall he'll also be filming the newest Kevin Smith film titled, Red State. Kevin, who has had roles in Ugly Betty and Weeds, appreciates the fans he has gained through his acting career. He noted,

"This is probably one of the biggest things I've ever been able to be part of, and it's been pretty amazing for me...I'm not jaded by it. I'm new to it. It really puts a smile on my face. Every day I've had somebody be really kind and appreciative of the things we're doing (on the show), and personally I love it. I think it's really cool that a person like me, coming from a small West Texas town, can have an impact on somebody."

Fans hope Kevin keeps this positivity for years to come because they all love seeing him on TV and wish him only the best! Source:  bostonherald.com--Alejandro's found 'True' calling (Photo Credit: HBO Inc.)
