Alcide’s father is a real terminator. True Blood has tapped erstwhile T-1000 Robert Patrick to play Jackson Herveaux, the father of Joe Manganiello’s werewolf in a three-episode arc, TVLine has confirmed.
Jackson is described as a once “powerful, inspiring, and heroic” man who, in present day, has seemingly given up on life. X-Files vet Patrick, who co-stars in ABC’s new fall thriller Last Resort, first appears in Episode 9 in a flashback to Alcide and Debbie Pelt’s teenage years.
