At one point I had a stretch where it was working on ‘In Treatment,’ then ‘True Blood,’ then ‘Durham County,’ then ‘True Blood,’ then ‘In Treatment’ again. If I didn’t have that little dose of ‘True Blood’ in the middle, I might have lost my mind.

Mind

Everyone always wants to talk about ‘True Blood’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica’ – no one’s even interested in ‘Durham County.’ It blew my mind when I came to Canada and no one asked me about the show.

I try to keep things as varied as possible in my career, and after playing something as fun and over the top as Maryann on ‘True Blood,’ I wanted to find something antithetical to that.

I was a massive fan of ‘Twin Peaks.’ Massive. I don’t know how any of us grew up in this age of television and weren’t astounded, and saying that, I’m still shocked that that was on network television.
