Bill was never boring. Stephen Moyer gave him tons of personality and played him with such conviction. Easily the best character on the show.

Ugh, I hated the Billith thing. That's where things went off the rails for me.
That’s when things got really fun for me

Me too, Rita.

I actually did like Bill, sum1. Right up until that Billith thing.

It's funny, when I've spoken to fans of the books on YouTube or FF, they always say that True Blood Bill is nothing like Bill in the books. Bill on the show is more of a typical Alan Ball protagonist, like on Six Feet Under, and the show infuses the character with traits that are simply not there in the books, according to the book fans. Oh well.

Tv Bill is strongly influenced by Stephen Moyer's acting style. All the way back to Prince Valiant he's had that deep seriousness. Works great for emotional depth and intensity in True Blood.

I didn't know that.


Man, I'm gonna miss James McAvoy as Charles. I think he was great in Dark Phoenix, and I never see him give a bad performance.

Yes he is, sum1.


Well, Petra, even though I think Patrick Stewart gave a great performance as Charles in Logan, I still think that James fits the character better. I can say the same about pretty much the entire First Class cast.

I think Patrick Stewart fit Xavier pretty perfectly.

I'll miss James as well.

I like some of the actors on True Blood, but I've never seen the show.

Well, to each his own, sum1. I thought both Stewart and McKellen were too old for the roles, but I did like Stewart in Logan.

I liked the cast of True Blood as well. I just wish the storyline hadn't gone astray after season 4.

Well, I'm not saying he's "too old," but I've never seen Charles or Erik portrayed as that age in the comics, is all.
