Ryan Kwanten Talks About His New Movie Griff The Invisible and Thinks True Blood Fans Are Addicted EXCLUSIVE [video]

On True Blood, Ryan Kwanten plays Lothario Jason Stackhouse, who is usually seen with his shirt off. But in his new movie, Griff the Invisible, Kwanten suits up to moonlight as a crime fighter.

In the Australian movie (fans of HBO's vampire soap opera might be surprised to hear Kwanten's natural Australian accent), Kwanten is an everyday office worker who is bullied by coworkers. But by night, he assumes another identity — Griff the Invisible, roaming the dark street and protecting the innocent.

Kwanten sat down with Hollywood Dailies and talked about his new role.

Exclusive Clip: Ryan Kwanten on How He Related to Griff the Invisible

There have been plenty of superheroes on the big screen this summer, but Griff is a little different. In Griff the Invisible, Ryan Kwanten (True Blood) plays a guy who lives a secluded life and works a normal office job, but assumes the identity of a superhero at night to roam the streets and protect the innocent and vulnerable. He then finds a girl with a similarly off-kilter world view, and a romance blossoms. At Comic-Con, Kwanten explained how his childhood games of playing pretend, and how the life of an actor and the necessity of putting on a persona in public informed his portrayal of Griff.
