Christopher Meloni has hinted at his new role on True Blood.The former Law & Order: SVU star will play Roman - the 500-year-old head of the Vampire Authority - in the HBO drama's fifth season.

"Roman's determined," Meloni told TV Guide. "He wants peace, but others have been trying to stomp out his path. Think [Barack] Obama with very long incisors."The actor added that Roman is somewhat similar to his SVU character Elliot Stabler.

"Elliot was free-form [and] Roman's more thoughtful, yet unafraid to pull the trigger," he explained. "He's a man of action. Get the facts, get it done.?"But they both have a certainty of their view. They both think they're right."

It was recently announced that Nurse Jackie exec Mark Hudis will replace True Blood creator Alan Ball as showrunner.

The new season will premiere on Sunday, June 10 at 9/8c on HBO. In the UK, True Blood airs on FX UK.

克里斯托弗?米洛尼（Christopher Meloni）曾對(duì)人談起他在《真愛(ài)如血》（True Blood）中的新角色。這位曾參演過(guò)《法律與秩序：特殊受害者》（Law & Order: SVU）的男演員將在《真愛(ài)如血》第五季中飾演羅曼（暫譯，Roman），一位500歲的吸血鬼當(dāng)權(quán)者首領(lǐng)。

“羅曼是一個(gè)堅(jiān)決的人，”米洛尼告訴TV Guide。“他想要和平，但其他人卻一直試圖退出他的路線。想象一下，他就好像是長(zhǎng)著尖牙的貝拉克?奧巴馬?！彼a(bǔ)充道，羅曼也有幾分像他在《法律與秩序：特殊受害者》中飾演的艾略特?斯特布勒（Elliot Stabler）。

“艾略特自由隨性，而羅曼則更深思熟慮一些，但他并不畏懼下決定，”他解釋道，“他是一個(gè)實(shí)干家。找到真相，解決問(wèn)題。”“但是，他們都確信自己的觀點(diǎn)。他們都認(rèn)為自己是正確的?！?/p>

根據(jù)近日公布的消息，《護(hù)士當(dāng)家》（Nurse Jackie）的執(zhí)行制片人馬克?胡迪斯（Mark Hudis）將取代《真愛(ài)如血》的創(chuàng)作人艾倫?鮑爾（Alan Ball）成為《真愛(ài)如血》新的運(yùn)作人。
