Kerris Dorsey was one of the guest stars on Mad Men last night and I’ve added caps to the gallery.

Bon Temps is about to bear witness to quite an anomaly: a vampire with more substance than style.
True Blood has tapped Brothers & Sisters alum Luke Grimes play the recurring role of James, a circa ’70s-made vamp who is smart, spiritual and emotionally deeper than any other bloodsucker we’ve seen before, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Picture a cross between Jim Morrison and Gary Clark Jr. with even more of a poet’s edge. The dude’s every women’s dream come true, and he doesn’t even know it.
Grimes, who spent two seasons on Brothers & Sisters as William Walker’s love child Ryan, is set to debut at the midway point of the HBO hit’s sixth season (which is slated to premiere in June).

CraveOnline: At the beginning of the show, Philip was already enamored with America. So where does this go for him?

Matthew Rhys: It’s quite a journey for him. I think coupled with the fact that the great driving motivation for him is the safety and security of his family, and I think that’s what he’s driving towards. I think there’s sort of elements of materialism that he enjoys, a byproduct of what he ultimately wants which is to make sure his family’s safe.

The research I did for Philip , one of those reasons was I researched what Russia would have been like for him growing up as a child which was, coming out of the Second World War, incredibly bleak and a difficult period. So I think if you compare the two, it’s understandable why he enjoys a good car and cowboy boots.

Sure, but could it be that in the course of the series he gets back in line with the KGB allegiances?

Rhys: Quite possibly. The conflict within this show is fantastic and one of the reasons is he all of a sudden discovers, after 15 years of forced marriage, real emotions for his wife. As a result of that, and having laid his cards about where his political leanings lie, he then has to come up with a new game plan as to how to bring her with him because she’s so hardlined.

Full Interview

The relationship between Stan and Philip has really developed with Stan almost becoming an unwitting informant for the KGB. How does Philip kind of balance that friendship and spying going forward?

I think he’s a little torn about Stan, to be perfectly honest. Philip does come from a decent moral place in many ways and he has a love for the lifestyle they’ve created. I think part of that is this sort of white picket idyllic idea of having a best friend in a neighbor. I think he genuinely does like Stan, although he tells Elizabeth it’s good to keep your enemies closer, I think with Stan there is a genuine fondness there. It’s unfortunate that in a way he is manipulating him for information.

How do you think the recent bonding between Stan and Philip is affecting the already strained marriage of Philip and Elizabeth?

It certainly is. I think Elizabeth has a great mistrust of Stan and Philip being friends. She regards, understandably, the fact that he’s an FBI agent as incredibly dangerous and distance is what they should be putting between them. Yes, in the multitude of things that’s already wrong with this marriage that certainly doesn’t help.
