Meet the True Blood Mystery Man

"What we wanted to know was that she was happy and living the life that she wanted to lead, and to introduce some other stranger in the last five minutes of the finale wouldn't have made a lot of sense," he told Entertainment Weekly, noting that Sookie Stackhouse creator Charlaine Harris got flack for pairing Sookie with Sam in the books. "So we made a choice it's everyman, it doesn't matter. So we didn't have a version where we revealed him. I mean, we basically cast the man with the best arms from our stunt crew."

Eulich's credits also include Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Bones, Captain America: The First Avenger, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the upcoming Jurassic World. He's also had bit parts on True Blood, playing vampires and in season two had a speaking role as Rich. So did Sookie end up with Rich?

"You know, I was thinking about that, and I don't think it's terribly far-fetched that it's Rich! I don't think the writers would necessarily think that [laughs] but I mean, Sookie did save Rich from being killed by Eric in that scene, so there was a little moment there and it's possible it turned into something, years and years later," Eulich told Vulture. "'Hey, remember that time at church when you saved my life? That was really awesome of you. We should go have a drink sometime.' Yeah, I think it would have been nice."
