A True Blood Enters Private Practice Season 5

There’s some new blood entering ABC’s Private Practice in the form of Wes Brown, and it looks like his appearance will be an explosive one… although not as explosive as his role on HBO’s True Blood. Brown, who True Blood fans will recognize as Fellowship of the Sun suicide bomber Luke McDonald, is joining Dr. Addison Montgomery and the rest of the gang on Private Practice as Ryan.Ryan will be a recurring character in four episodes of the ABC drama, with his first appearance occurring on Episode 6 as a  character described by TVLine as “a handsome stranger who will figure into Amelia’s ongoing addiction storyline. And not necessarily in a good way.”

Private Practice premieres on September 29th.

In addition to stirring up trouble for Amelia, Brown, who was also in NBC’s Trauma, will also be showing up in the Sci-fi movie, Weather Wars, in October, and the upcoming television series, Scandal, as well as making as appearance on the big screen in March 2012 with Val Kilmer, Shawn Roberts and Matt Dallas in The First Ride of Wyatt Earp.

Who knew that blowing yourself up to get rid of a den of vampires could bring on such a wide variety of opportunities?
