Violet (Karolina Wydra) after she took hostages to get revenge on Jason (Ryan Kwanten) in last week's True Bloodepisode.
But the actress is happy with her character's death in Sunday’s episode, the shooting by a recently returned Hoyt (Jim Parrack) that ended her two-season run on the show, she tells The Hollywood Reporter.
"I think she gets honored with that. They honor Violet with a nice death," Wydra says. "It's definitely a painful death for her. She's been around for 800 years."
The sex-torture sanctum where she threatens Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), Adilyn (Bailey Noble) and Wade (Noah Matthews) with unambiguously named devices (the "breast-ripper") was designed using her own research on medieval torture instruments. She and writer Kate Barnow traded photos and information, and the result was one of her favorite of Violet's scenes. "They were like, 'Wait till you see it.' I could only see photos. Then when I saw it I was like, 'Ok this is amazing,'" she says. "It's so dark, it's so terrible to say, but they're great."
Violet is the episode’s villain and has been "aggressive" for two seasons, Wydra says, but there’s more to the character. "I think there's a reason for everything she does. She comes off as very fiery and intense, but I think that intensity comes from her strong belief systems," she says. "She protects Sookie [Anna Paquin] and Jason. She's very protective—even with Jessica, somebody hurts her, and Violet’s like, ‘You don’t do this to my tribe." More

Prince Lestat, vampire in the modern world yet always loyal to book canon.
Deadline- Ian McShane (Hercules, Deadwood) and Nelsan Ellis (Get On Up, True Blood)have joined Dan Pritzker’s biopic Bolden. Gary Carr (Downton Abbey) stars as legendary musician Buddy Bolden, whom many consider the father of jazz. Pic is set in 1931 New Orleans, when Buddy Bolden, a long-time asylum inmate, hears the strains of a Louis Armstrong concert drift into his room from the radio in a nearby nurse’s station. The sound evokes memories of his long-forgotten youth as a ground-breaking cornetist, when he played and improvised his way to the forefront of a new musical style, ultimately creating what would evolve decades later into jazz. Multiple Grammy winner Wynton Marsalis composed the score.
