Ryan Kwanten Calls True Blood Season 5 “Most Controversial” Yet

Posted on May 17, 2012 at 11:20 am by TrueBloodComics

True Blood’s Jason Stackhouse has got a killer six-pack, but he’s not the brightest bulb in Bon Temps. Still, Ryan Kwanten thinks of Jason as more innocent than stupid.

“A lot of people miscategorize him, they say he’s dumb. I more like to approach him as innocent,” he tells In the Spotlight.

“I tend to overanalyze far too much, where as he just jumps off that cliff without even asking the question.”

As long as he’s jumping off that cliff without a shirt on, that’s fine by us!

Ryan also gave a little preview for the new season, which he calls “by far our most controversial.”

“It’s pushing the boundaries even more,” he teases. “There’s a whole host of new characters and supernatural beings.”

“The standard retail pricing for a photo op with an actor is thirty to forty dollars, with certain actors charging more,” Convention Director Matt Solberg says, “Following our 2011 convention we took the photo op process in-house which allows us this opportunity to reduce prices for our attendees.”

A photo op consists of a professionally taken photo between an actor and an attendee. An 8”x10” print is provided to attendees generally two hours after the photo op.

In addition, Phoenix Comicon will be providing jpegs of these photos free of charge to attendees.

According to Solberg, “In the past an attendee had to pay ten or fifteen dollars to have a jpg of the photo sent to them following the convention. It’s a digital file that has limited to no cost to distribute, and we decided: Let’s give it away for free.”
