Reuters intervjuade Sam Trammell.

Climate challenges notwithstanding, Trammell rolled up a number of TV credits. After Ball saw his audition tape for “True Blood,” he arranged for Trammell to test for the network executives. “These tests are very stressful for everyone,” the actor says. “It’s basically testing whether the actor can handle the pressure. Before you go in, you have to sign a contract that says you’ll be committed for five years. You learn your salary and deal points. Reading and signing legal documents before an audition is very heavy. Then you go in and there are 20 to 25 executives sitting in big swivel leather chairs. Everyone is nervous. Nobody likes it. And it’s up to the actor not only to kill, but also to make everyone feel okay. You do your best to keep your cool. For ‘True Blood,’ I read with the casting director, and I felt it went fine.”
