“True Blood” Vampire is “The Mentalist’s” New Boss

Virgil Minelli retired as CBI boss, leaving an opening that The Mentalist showrunners filled with the lovely and very talented Aunjanue Ellis. Most recently known by Nice Girls as the dangerously nasty Diane, the vampire that wanted to chew on Sookie Stackhouse in the first season of HBO’s mega-hit series, True Blood.

Ellis joins the cast in a pivotal episode of The Mentalist some time in April. I’m excited to see what kind of changes this will bring in department relations. I’m most interested to see how Lisbon and Jayne will interact to her.

It should be a great season!
