Welcome to Truest Blood, the official True Blood podcast.

I'm Kristen Bauer, and I'm Deborah Ann Wool.

And you've been invited in.

I want to do bad things here.

On the truest blood.

Welcome back to Truest Blood, where we sink our fangs into the series, Bite by Bite.

This week, Greg Daniel is here, and neither Deb nor I got to work with him while we were on the show, so we were particularly excited to hear about his experience.

Yes. I mean, he's a consummate artist. No leaf left unturned, no question uninvestigated.

Yeah. It really was a pleasure to hear him speak. It was. It felt like being back in acting class,

you know, just kind of my favorite place to be. I know. It's my least favorite place to be,

and I still love. He actually kind of made me want to go to acting class.

Yeah, he makes you want to go to acting class. Yeah, that's a feat for me. But first,

let's have a quick bite storyboarding with Dan Kaplan. So this week is a longer quick bite because we wanted to highlight another aspect of this business that doesn't usually get much airtime.

And that's storyboarding.

And this is great, Kristen.

You brought this in.

I want to really clarify.

Like, Kristen found this fantastic human

being and brought it to our attention. Yeah, I think as an artist, it just really interests me.

Yeah. And we were lucky enough to get to talk to Dan Kaplan, the storyboard artist for True Blood,

six feet under the penguin West World. Also, West Wing, he texted me this

week. But the list goes on. And frankly, if you can name it, he probably worked on it.
