First, Joe Manganiello is coming on board as Alcide. He’s a werewolf that’s expected to turn the Sookie/Eric/Bill love triangle into a four-sided shape of some kind. Perhaps a rhombus.

Earlier today, meanwhile, Kevin Alejandro was announced for the role of Jesus. The actor, best known for a recurring role on Southland, will get involved with everyone’s favorite blood-selling homosexual, Lafayette.

Other season three additions include: Denis O’Hare, Marshall Allman, Theo Alexander, Grant Bowler, and Lindsay Pulsipher. For the latest True Blood spoilers, visit our friends at TV Fanatic.
