'True Blood' Warlow Actor Rob Kazinsky Thinks It Is 'Empowering' To Be Naked On Set But Is Intimidated By Fellow Male Co-stars From Time To Time
Rob Kazinsky, who played Warlow in Season 6 of "True Blood," says he gets a kick out of getting naked.
The British actor is no stranger to getting naked as his role in "True Blood" called for it a lot. In the name of the show, that is infamous for its explicit scenes, Kazinsky happily stripped down while portraying Warlow.
In fact, Kazinsky told Heat magazine that he rather bare it all than do a half-ass job like some actors who use props to hide their privates.
“No. Nothing distracts me more in a film than a naked actor holding a conveniently-placed vase. So if my character’s naked, he’s damn well naked. It was very empowering,” he said.
"True Blood," which is making its seventh season its last, also stars actors like Stephen Moyer, Joe Manganiello, and Ryan Kwanten who don't mind showing off their fleshy assets. This is probably the only thing that makes Kazinsky a bit intimidated.
"You try," he replied, when asked if he works out often. "But then you see Ryan and Joe Manganiello and you just cry in the corner eating doughnuts.”
Although nudity scenes is a huge attention grabber, Kazinsky insists that it is no different than working on a regular scene fully clothed.
“Not even slightly. Any sex scene is incredibly mechanical. A sex scene with [co-star] Anna Paquin is no different to a regular scene with her,” he assured.
