What is our obsession with vampires? Is it their mysterious ways? Perhaps it’s the vast mythology that accompanies these creatures of the night? Whatever the reason, we can’t seem to get enough of those vampires and I think most would agree that True Blood is one of the coolest vampire dramas out there.

We all have our favorite characters on the show, but Eric’s progeny Pam is the one of the most entertaining of the bunch. Her lack of filter may not make her popular among her peers, but she certainly gives the show a much-needed dose of humor.

Kristin Bauer van Straten is Pam’s alter ego on the hit series and before she donned those fangs, this talented actor has appeared in an incredibly variety of roles ranging from Seinfeld, where was was one of Jerry’s dates (a.k.a. “man hands”) to Maleficent in Once Upon a Time. She has proven time and time again that she can take on any role and make it memorable.

I was absolutely thrilled to have the chance to chat with this amazing leading lady about her role on True Blood, causes closest to her heart and how she keeps in close contact with her fans..
