True Blood finale: who was that?

If you haven’t seen True Blood‘s final episode stop reading right now.

If you have then read on….

No doubt that family ending will have left you asking: who was that guy?

Turns out he was one of the crew.

Showrunner Brian Buckner told reporters that the character whose face we never saw was intended to be an everyman whose identity was irrelevant. He also said that they chose “the man with the best arms from our stunt crew.”

He is actor/stunt performer Timothy Eulich who spoke with Vulture about his guest appearance.

Did you get a chance to see the series finale of True Blood?
I honestly haven’t been able to watch the whole thing, but I did watch that final sequence that we shot just now. After we get off the phone, I’ll watch the rest. [Laughs.] But I was laughing with my wife Sunday night about all the tweets from all the people freaking out about not getting to see Sookie’s husband’s face. It was fun!

What about the beard? Did they want Sookie’s husband to have a beard?
There was quite a bit of discussion about whether or not the beard would be kept. I was told, point blank, by one of the [assistant directors], “You’re going to have to shave that off, before next week.” And then the director came up and was like, “Maybe you should shave it. Maybe you should keep it. We’ll let you know.” So they ran it up the ladder and decided that they liked the beard! I’ve since shaved it off. [Laughs.]

Do you think Sookie would taken her husband’s last name?
I feel like Sookie is the kind of girl who would want to keep her name, you know? She is Sookie Stackhouse, for sure. I don’t see her changing her name. The kids, on the other hand, when they’re born? That will be up for debate. It’s hard to hyphenate Stackhouse, though.

Have you even had a moment to think about what it would be like to be married to Sookie Stackhouse? Because it was all so sudden for the rest of us.
It was. But you know, I think it would be a difficult relationship. She is always getting into some kind of adventure! It would be very difficult to keep up with, as a regular human being man. And he would probably try to talk some sense into her, too. “You know, maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea to go out into the woods in the middle of the night when there are Hep-V vampires running around out there.” But she does what she wants, really. At the end of the day, I don’t know if you tell Sookie what to do.

But that’s why we love her.
Absolutely! Forever!
