'True Blood' Stars Say It Gets Better: Alexander Skarsgard, 'It Gets Better' (VIDEO)

For those of you who couldn't get enough of Eric on last night's episode of "True Blood," don't worry because the Swedish actor is featured--along with his castmates, Rutina Wesley, Kristin Bauer, and creator Alan Ball--in a new set of "It Gets Better" PSA's.

The project, which was started last fall by writer Dan Savage in response to a wave of very public LGBT youth suicides, has had many celebrity contributors since its creation, but this is the first time the "True Blood" cast has taken part in the project.

The hit HBO show has been labeled "The Most Gay-Friendly Show on TV," and its story lines often revolve around "vampire rights," tolerance and acceptance.

Check out Skargard and Kristin Bauer's emotional PSA's below. To view the rest, visit the official HBO YouTube page.

Damn, I was hoping he was talking about the dreadful start of this season of Trueblood when I saw the "It Get Better" headline! On a side note, I fully understand that life can be hard for gay kids in America and there had been lots of bullying and suicides taking place with many gay kids. I also feel that more than ever it is acceptable to be gay in America and we should remember that not only gay kids are bullied and life is not always peachy for straight kids either. Bullying can happen to anyone who is outside the mainstreams of there social group and let us not forget that

Don't know exactly how to put it, but this season so far has me grabbing the remote over, and over, and over again. I have seen every episode. EVERY one. I gave up last Sunday, never to look back. I know the ratings are through the roof so Alan Ball is not gonna worry about my little old comment, but this season sucks, big time. Too many reasons to list, so I won't even try. It WAS fun while it lasted though.

Oh Alexander, you are so hot. Nice message, on a side note. Every hard, terrible thing in life always has the other side.

As if I needed more reason to love Kristin Bauer. Her video was so beautiful and touching.

I know this is a serious topic and I support it 100%, but GOD-DAYUM! He is HOT. Jesus. Sometimes God does give with both hands. Lord have mercy.

Yet another reason for me to love True Blood and Alexander Skarsgard.

That dude is hot. Even his name is hot.
"Skarsgard!" It sounds all...sword and viking-ney. Like someone you have sex with on a glacier, wrapped in a bear fur.

Gee and I was hoping he meant the show would get better. What a dreadful season so far.

IN WHAT WAY? I only scream that because I've been absolutely out of my head with excitement, fear, laughing, anxiety, anticipation and delight every single second. Seriously. Only when Bill told that lawyer gal to scream and run away whenever she saw him did I get a twinge of 'huh?'. But other than that, I'm infatuated to the max.

I agree with you! Favorite book and love the season so far!
