Finally, “True Blood” fans will get more of Eric Northman’s pre-vampire days this next season. Back in February, SciFi Mafia reported on the casting call for Eric’s human father. Hans Tester (“Better Off Ted”, “Alias”) has since been cast to play Ulfrick, a Viking king. Alexander Skarsgard, who plays the vamp fave Eric Northman, talks about his on-screen dad Ulfrick and his character’s Viking warrior days:
“It is about vengeance – I can’t say what – but yeah, something happened when Eric was still human a thousand years ago. Early on in [the third season], he gets an opportunity to kind of avenge someone’s death.”
