Deborah Ann Woll AKA Jessica

As stated many times before, I’m a big True Blood fan. There’s something about watching an HBO show with amazingly good looking people that basically do nothing but fight and have sex all the time. Mix in some supernatural and you’ve got a hit – or in this case Alan Ball‘s True Blood. At the conclusion of last season we saw Bill Compton “make” another vampire as a punishment for killing one of his own. Although he never got to choose the victim, I’m glad the other vampires went with Jessica Hamby. As season two rolls along we’re getting to know Jessica more and more and with it is coming a bit of a Hollywood crush on actress Deborah Ann Woll.

Woll hasn’t done a lot in terms of mainstream acting (she’s been on CSI and ER before but really who hasn’t?) but she’s definitely got the chops to take on a bigger part in the future. The 24-year old from New York has done some stage work but nothing big enough to land her a Tony or anything.

True Blood is an obvious hit and I see Woll making a huge name for herself playing the young protege of Bill Compton. So far this year we’ve seen her return to her parents house, get back at her abusive father and find her first human boyfriend in Hoyt. I say, bring on more Jessica. She’s probably not a widely known fan favorite right now – especially with characters like Lafayette, Sookie, Bill and Erik running around, but I think this is going to be a big year for Jessica and a sort of coming-out for Deborah Ann Woll. She plays the teenage, fish out of water, vampire with a developing conscience character extremely well. She’s also pretty much gorgeous.
