Jim Parrack stars in "True Blood" on HBO as as Hoyt Fortenberry. 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.
On the big screen, Parrack stars in the action thriller "Battle: Los Angeles," opposite Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez, as Peter Kerns.
Jim Parrack made his professional acting debut in 2006's "Annapolis" as A.J. His 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 he showed audiences his depth and range in two consecutive guest-starring roles. First on "Criminal Minds," he 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 grew up in the small Texas town of Allen. He 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 he began to find fulfillment and opportunity in his acting. A veteran of more than 20 plays in just seven years in Los Angeles, he is a current student at Playhouse West and can be seen there monthly in the critically acclaimed play "Welcome Home Soldier."
