Collider spoke to True Blood actor Chris Bauer about the season finale, his character on the show, and many more. Here’s what he had to say about his character Andy as a person:
How do you see Andy, as a person?
BAUER: The thing that I love about True Blood, that applies to my character and everybody’s character, is that it’s very much what you see is what you get. There’s not a lot of camera time where people monologue about things that happened to them in the past. You hear little bits and pieces that are plotted in, here and there, that usually end up having a story relevance, either in future episodes or future seasons. They’re very economical, that way. I think that every time you get to see Andy Bellefleur, you understand a little bit more of what makes him tick. There are a couple of specific biographical things you get to know, but more than anything, it’s the cumulative momentum that continues to give you a sense of who he is, so that you’re like, “Oh, okay, so he’s not just an asshole.” If somebody is emotionally underdeveloped and the only tool they have is to growl and scowl and yell, but they feel the whole spectrum of emotion, from vulnerability, grief, fear and loneliness, all the way through ecstacy and gratitude, that person has to end up alone because they don’t have the emotional vocabulary to express what they need. The best thing about this season, for me, is that Andy really realizes, once and for all, that he can’t do it alone, which is cool.
