HollywoodLife Talks To Ryan Kwanten About Jason's Troubles.......



It’s going to be a nail-biting season for fans of True Blood‘s Jason Stackhouse, as the Southern charmer finds himself in more danger than ever — or as Ryan Kwanten tells HollywoodLife.com, he’ll be “very much at death’s door.” And even worse than Jason’s possible death, fans will also be sad to hear that he’ll be taking “a little break” from all the shirtless action they’re used to.

Fans of Charlaine Harris‘ novels are fully aware that [SPOILER ALERT] Jason gets kidnapped and turned into a were-panther — and while Ryan wisely avoids confirming that big secret, he does confirm that Jason “quickly finds himself in a position he may not be able to get out of.”

Now let’s talk about the shirtless elephant in the room. How much skin will Jason be showing this season?

Not much by Jason, actually. A lot of the other boys try their hand at it, though. Believe me, I’m not totally off the radar on that front, but compared to previous seasons, it is a little break.

How does Jason and Crystal’s relationship progress over the course of season four?

She’s very much under a spell, for lack of a better phrase. And Jason’s so in love with this girl that he goes along with it for a little while, but he very quickly finds himself in a position he may not be able to get out of.

Are you familiar with their relationship in the books, or with the books in general?

To a certain point. To be honest, I only read two-and-a-half of the books before I realized that Alan Ball and the rest of the team of writers were doing a very TV savvy version. So in terms of my acting, reading the books didn’t help too much. I didn’t want to know what was going to happen in the future.

We’ve also seen some crazy fairy action in previews. Does Jason get to play with them?

He does not deal with them, certainly in the first half in the season. He’s got his fair share of other things to deal with.
