(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Anna Paquin would get "bored" if she played traditional female characters.

The actress is Sookie Stackhouse in American vampire TV show True Blood. While Sookie is sweet she's also tough, which is why Anna was drawn to the role.

"Truthfully, I get bored. It's fun that Sookie gets to be super-cute while she kicking ass," Anna explained. "It's cut in a kind of very traditional, obvious way the dresses, boobs and whole blonde thing but people don't tend to cast me as a bimbo. I've tried but it just doesn't seem to come my way!"

Anna's husband Stephen Moyer also appears in True Blood, playing vampire Bill Compton. The pair have some romantic scenes, but neither finds them strange.

Anna is just glad they have enough chemistry to make them believable.

"Chemistry is just one of those elusive things. It doesn't mean everyone's gonna jump in bed with everyone," she told Look magazine. "It's not even specifically about sexual chemistry. It's just, is there a spark when you work with that person? Does it feel like there's a connection? Does it feel like they're really coming alive? It has always been really, really easy to work with him." (C) Cover Media
