Alexander will play Talbot, an “intensely beautiful” vampire, the boyfriend of Russell Edgington (Denis O’Hare), the vampire king of Mississippi.

Talbot has an acerbic sense of humor and loves to cook despite vampires’ inherent lack of cooking talents.

Bowler will play Coot, a werewolf, the menacing ringleader of a biker gang.

Greece-born Alexander, repped by Global Artists Agency, has several guest shots on his resume — appearances on “Chuck,” “CSI: NY” and “Pushing Daisies” — and recently booked the feature “Losing Control.”

New Zealander Bowler has recurred on ABC’s “Ugly Betty” as the scheming Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) squeeze and current fugitive Connor Owens.

Alexander and Bowler join “Prison Break” alum Marshall Allman, who was recently cast as a regular, playing Sam’s (Sam Trammell) long-lost younger brother.

Production on the “Blood’s” third season started Wednesday in Los Angeles.
