Kevin Alejandro Joining Cast of True Blood

True Blood's Layfayette may be getting a new love interest. Southland's Kevin Alejandro, who also starred in the ill-fated series Drive, has landed a gig on the HBO vampire drama. According to The Hollywood Reporter Alejandro will be a series regular.

Alejandro, expected to appear in almost every episode of the HBO series' upcoming third season, will play Jesus, a Latino orderly who is taking care of Ruby Jean Reynolds (Alfre Woodard) at her care facility and becomes involved with her son, Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis).

On "Blood," he joins such other new additions as Denis O'Hare, Marshall Allman, Theo Alexander, Grant Bowler, Joe Manganiello and Lindsay Pulsipher.

Alejandro will stay on Southland, which has moved to TNT. He's going to be a very busy guy, shooting two series at the same time.
