Ed Quinn gets undead.

So much for our theories that "Eureka" character Nathan Stark was just another crackpot science experiment away from resurrection. Actor Ed Quinn, who played Stark for three seasons of the SciFi show until he was disintegrated fixing a time-space anomaly, has been cast on "True Blood," according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Ed, 41, will play Stan -- "a powerful vampire from Texas." Considering it's a state we're already loathe to mess with, we can't imagine he'll be a wise one to cross. Then again, Sookie and Bill seem to love trouble!
