"I will not speak to her directly!"

―Theodore Newlin

Theodore Newlin was a reverend on the HBO original series True Blood. Played by American guest starring actor Randy Oglesby, Theodore was the reverend of the Fellowship of the Sun church outside of Dallas, Texas. One of the leading opponents of vampire rights, Theodore was constantly seen on network television pushing an anti-vampire agenda. Meeting an untimely demise on the episode "The First Taste" in the series' first season, Theodore was mentioned once more, in the series' second season, when it is revealed that Dallas vampire Stan Baker was responsible for the reverend's death.
