Jim Parrack on "True Blood"

Jim Parrack stars as Hoyt Fortenberry on HBO's "True Blood." One of Jason's buddies, Hoyt may be the most unremarkable guy in Bon Temps, though his general oafishness can be pretty endearing. He's every bit as enamored with drinking beer and chasing women as Jason—but he's not nearly as good at it.

Jim Parrack made his professional acting debut in 2006's "Annapolis" as A.J. Jim Parrack's portrayal of the rough and tumble, blue collar boxer led to a series of guest spots on television shows including "Gray's Anatomy," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "ER," "Monk," "Standoff" and "Close to Home." In 2007 Jim Parrack showed audiences his depth and range in two consecutive guest-starring roles. First on "Criminal Minds," Jim Parrack played a deranged serial killer who hunted people in the wild with a bow and arrow, followed immediately by a sensitive look at a Colorado Sheriff's Deputy who has lost his mother on "Raines" alongside Jeff Goldblum.

Jim Parrack grew up in the small Texas town of Allen. Jim Parrack moved to Los Angeles and studied acting for two years at The Stella Adler Academy. But it wasn't until studying under Robert Carnegie at Playhouse West that Jim Parrack began to find fulfillment and opportunity in his acting. A veteran of more than 20 plays in just seven years in Los Angeles, Jim Parrack is a current student at Playhouse West and can be seen there monthly in the critically acclaimed play "Welcome Home Soldier."
