Carrie Preston, who plays Arlene Fowler in the HBO series True Blood, was recently interviewed by Sheila Fraklin of StarPulse.com about her role in this series and other projects:
Carrie says “My character on the show couldn't be more different than me. I don't even look like myself. They have me in this redheaded wig. It's unusual to have the ability to transform because in the books they are very specific about what the characters look like. Because I worked with Alan before, he said he would give me a wig to look like her. So many would never do that, but he took a chance to make the actor into the character instead of the other way around. I will be very curious to see how that plays out. People on the set don't know who I am before I get into hair and makeup.”
