"Joe Manganiello has said that he cannot wait to start shooting the fifth season of True Blood. The actor, who plays the werewolf Alcide on the HBO series, revealed that he will have a larger role on the show&amp;#039;s upcoming season. &amp;quot;Oh my god, I can&amp;#039;t f**king wait,&amp;quot; Manganiello told TV Line. &amp;quot;The fact that they&amp;#039;re basically busy casting an entire new pack of werewolves is unbelievable.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s going to be like a werewolf show within the show this this year, so I&amp;#039;m like a kid about it!&amp;quot; Last month, Manganiello described True Blood as the sexiest show ever made, saying that he has always been attracted to &amp;quot;challenging projects&amp;quot;. In October, the show reportedly began its search for Alcide&amp;#039;s father, though Manganiello has said that the character may come as a surprise to fans of the books on which the show is based. &amp;quot;It may not be what you expect,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;Alcide&amp;#039;s dad is in [author Charlaine Harris&amp;#039;s fifth Sookie Stackhouse novel]. Whether or not he makes an appearance\u2026 well, that&amp;#039;s a question for [executive producer] Alan [Ball].&amp;quot;  True Blood will return for a fifth season next summer.
