BuzzFeed's Louis Peitzman busted wide open the case of Luke Grimes, the actor who joined Season 6 as James, Jessica's high-cheekboned, brooding loner boyfriend in the vampire concentration camp. Tons of eyebrows were raised last December when reports surfaced that Grimes had left the production—his highest profile role to date—over "creative differences."
But now we know what those creative differences might've actually been: "The True Blood" writers were refashioning James as a not only a love interest for Jessica, but also a love interest for Lafayette. So, in a truly retrograde bit of homophobia, Grimes decided that playing a ? (or, really, bisexual) role was unacceptable, according to Yahoo News.

finally someone says no to the faggotry. but what did he expect? he joined one of the gayest shows of all time.
-
lol he tried out for true blood but didnt want to be around ? ? ? thats like getting a job at wringling brothers circus and hoping that you wont be around clowns
-
The ? agenda so real. i read the yahoo article and its so ? up. call him a homophobic and that doing something ? is not as bad as being on a tv show with wolves and vampires smh
-
? up the way that ? was written you would think the author took issue. Like its a bad look to refuse doing a ? scene now. Smh. ? like this is slowly making me homophobic. They're getting annoying.
-
Never seen the show but sick of these homos pushing ? in your face 24/7
-
it's one thing to be on a show with ? people, but actually doing the ? ? is another
-
this was an unnatural white man
-
I guess he never watched the show huh?
-
Maybe it was cause he was a black ? . Racist and homophobic. smh not cool
-
Yea it's ? up that they trying to make dude seem like a bad guy. Can't have any negative opinion of gaydom these days.

thats the ? up thing based on the article
he didnt even say anything about homosexuality. He didnt say it was a sin or they were gonna burn in hell or that they were sexual deviants.
he just didnt want to kiss a dude. Why does this make him homophobic?

Lol, word.
But knowing these actors alot of them don't even watch the ? they be own know anything about they're just happy to have a gig. -
Good for him for doing what he feels is right.
And the new guy who plays his role already looks like such a fruity pie. He will play the role of a dicc succa way better than the guy from last season. -
lol@the ? agenda.
Sounds like he needs to fire his agent for not giving him a heads up, or putting it in his contract that that's not something he's interested in doing. -
I don't think you can necessarily blame him for signing up for a show with tons of ? ? . It says in the OP that the writers basically rewrote his character to be ? . As far as dude knew he was playing a heterosexual role and then they pulled the ole switcheroo on him.
-
I would have did the same.His character was changed to be ? .I ain't kissing no man either.
-
I like the show, but I don't blame him. Every start of the season, the I always ask "Who will they turn ? this this time."
-
no ? for pay!
-
He didnt wanna trade his personal values for a paycheck, props. I wouldnt be a ? for a check neither.
-
respect
I didn't even notice the replacement tho
-
he was fine with playing a ? dude, but they also wanted him to do kissing scenes and a ? sex scene, and he wasn't down with that ? .
-
he didn't want to kiss a man, no way u can vilify him for that. thats not "homophobic"... this is actually the reverse. which is weird.

The actor who played Omar... he's not ? in real life.
Ryan Kwanten and Rob Kazinsky who play Jason and Warlow... not ? either.
Acting is acting, it's not real. If you are taking this ? seriously, you're in the wrong job.
? , a man sticking his tongue down your throat is real whether he's acting or not, and not wanting to do that shouldn't make you a homophobe. Yes, there are people that are so dedicated to their craft that they can get past doing stuff they don't like, but not every actor has to be that way. -
