Actor Ryan Kwanten Stars In HBO's 'True Blood'

Model turned actor Ryan Kwanten plays Jason Stackhouse in HBO's new series True Blood, which airs Sundays at 9pm.

Jason is a construction worker during the day, but at night he's a notorious ladies man. Of the show, HBO states: "Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out."

An Australian-born actor, Kwanten's other acting credits include his role as Jay Robertson in TV's Summerland and ESPN's The Junction Boys. You can catch him in the upcoming film Don't Fade Away, where he stars alongside Mischa Barton (The O.C.), Beau Bridges (My Name Is Earl) and rapper Ja Rule.
