Michael McMillian  reactions to his character's demise

The ninth episode of "True Blood" Season 5 showed the demise of Steve Newlin by forcing him into the sun. When the actor was asked to choose between forcing him into the sun or tearing his genitals off, the actor admitted he'd prefer "True Death."

McMillian  told Entertainment Weekly, "I would like to die with genitals intact, I think. And it's a fitting end for Steve too. Meeting the sun was, of course, the only way he should have gone. That was his whole thing in season 2 [with the Fellowship of the Sun], so it was a nice twist of irony at the end."
