Karolina Wydra: From House to True Blood

TVLine reports that Polish-born actress and model Karolina Wydra has been cast as a vampire in True Blood’s upcoming 6th season. Wydra played house for one season with Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) as  Dominika Petrova, the woman he married to help her get a green card, although they developed real feelings for each other. Wydra has also long been a model.

On True Blood, Wydra’s character is called Violet. She is described as a strong, sexy, possibly dangerous vampire.

The character of Violet is not the only new addition to Season 6, although a common complaint about the HBO hit show is that it has too many characters. But then again, that is a common complaint about many series — it is often said about another HBO hit,  Boardwalk Empire.

True Blood’s 6th Season,which is due to start in June, will also feature Rutger Hauer, Arliss Howard and Jurnee Smollett-Bell.

Perhaps fans won’t notice the overload so much as they will English actor Robert Kazinsky, who will play a “highly charismatic faerie” who takes a fancy to Anna Paquin’s character, Sookie.
