Sookie Stackhouse played by Anna Paquin

[Replies: 1,260]
Sookie lost her parents as a child, not long after realizing she had the ability to hear others' thoughts. Though Sookie's grandmother took her in, the young woman's telepathy has been an ongoing curse. Hearing the intimate feelings of everyone in her small town has left her feeling impossibly alone. And those who haven't been scared off by her "talent" have disgusted her with their shady musings. After decades spent as the local oddball, Sookie has learned to serve up a combination of sexiness and sass that helps her deal with most situations, but she has yet to find out whether her bite can back up the bark.

I laughed so hard he is so stupid! I didn't see it but yeah I guess it was there. They should be mindful of that in the future.

C'mon yes you can! Think back to that scene with Jason and Sookie in the hotel room in Dallas having their big deep and meaningful?

Gawd I thought she was going to throw him down on the bed any second towards the end of it.

It was SO off! LOL.

Guess the preference is based on how people see the character ...


I agree. I can't imagine Sookie with that overbite either. Nor does she have the body, that some of those Sookie outfits require.

Anna Camp is perfect as Sarah Newlin, I am in complete agreement with casting on this.

For me, she is great, but then again I would prefer a more manly, and not "feminine" Bill that Moyer portrays.

She was excellent. She had that innocent quality to her of a small town girl, yet you can see she was equally fiesty. She would look good w/ SM and AS too.

But then if they gave AP the role of Sarah, that would have been horrible. I can't even picture AP and RK doing a love scene together.

Checking in here for the first time in months--just saw this tidbit on another board...

"(According to AB) Anna Camp was the 1st runner up for the part of Sookie."

What a shame it didn't happen!

In my house the four of us were enchanted with Camp for all of Season 2, and agreed many times that we wished she'd been cast as Sookie. I think she was perfect for the role...she certainly fits the part, and as a South Carolinian she rocks a genuine accent to boot. She's also an accomplished actress in her own right. It's such a pity it didn't work out--I'd really love to have seen what she could have done with Sookie.
