Kelly Gets Hairy And Dirty

More casting news for True Blood where Kelly Overton has reportedly signed up for the upcoming fifth season, which begins shooting next month. Deadline reports that Massachusettes-born Overton will appear in six episodes of the HBO vampire drama as a 'dirty but beautiful' werewolf named Rikki, who is desperate to discover what became of her pack's leader. The role includes series regular options for future seasons.

The 33-year-old actress, whose genre work includes DreamWork’s The Ring Two, famously played bare-foot babe Christie Monteiro in the Anchor Bay Tekken movie; which garnered her a million teenage boy stalkers who’ve all "played her". She joins a growing cast of guest stars that includes Italian actress Valentina Cervi (Jane Eyre) as seductive vampire Salome and Lucy Griffiths (Robin Hood) as beautiful double-agent Nora.

Overton guest-starred on In Plain Sight this past spring and has appeared on numerous procedurals such as CSI: NY, Cold Case, Criminal Minds and Numb3rs.
