Allan Hyde (born December 20, 1989) is a Danish actor. He is best known for his role as the vampire Godric on HBO's True Blood.

Early life

Hyde was born and raised in Denmark to a Danish mother and English father from London (hence the English surname).

Career

In 2009, Hyde was cast in the critically acclaimed HBO series True Blood as Godric, a very powerful vampire. Godric was over 2,000 years old, the vampire sheriff of Area 9 and maker of Eric Northman. A once very brutal vampire - Godric appears in the series as a supporter of human and vampire interaction and hopes that one day there will be peace. His character appears in four episodes in the second season. The character proved to be popular with viewers and with creator, Alan Ball. Hyde returned as Godric for season 3, appearing in a flashback on episode two and as a vision to Eric Northman on episode twelve. Hyde made a brief appearance in season 4, "Me & The Devil".

Gourmet Film is a production company that Hyde started with his good friend Aske Bang. Under Gourmet Film, the web comedy series Alla Salute! premiered April 11th, and April 13th with English subtitles. Alla Salute! stars Hyde as Patrik, and Aleksander Antonijevic as Claudio. At Gourmet Film, they are dedicated to unite Gourmet and Films by creating small and sophisticated films while drinking fine wines and eating extravagant meals - as said by Hyde.

Hyde was a singer on one track of the international versions of the soundtrack Camp Rock. He provided the voice dubbing for Ron Weasley in the Danish releases of the Harry Potter films. IMDB has Allan as starring in a new film Exteriors (2011), an 80 min Drama.

He currently lives in LA but visits Denmark and his family frequently.
