True Blood Star Heading To Shreveport In 2026

Some vampire royalty is coming "back home" this summer. The incredibly talented Kristin Bauer is joining the guest lineup for Geek'd Con 2026.

Fans universally love her scene-stealing, iconic role as Pamela Swynford De Beaufort in the massive HBO hit 'True Blood'. As the impeccably dressed, sarcastic, and fiercely loyal vampire, Pam is best known as the co-owner of the vampire nightclub Fangtasia.

...That's right, as any die-hard fan of the show knows, Fangtasia is located right here in Shreveport, Louisiana! We couldn't be more excited to bring Pam back to her old stomping grounds.

Maleficent Will Visit Shreveport For Geek'd Con

Beyond the vampire underworld of Louisiana, Kristin brought one of Disney's most legendary villains to life in live-action. She starred as the wicked fairy Maleficent across multiple seasons of the hit ABC fantasy drama 'Once Upon a Time', commanding the screen with her dark magic and wicked presence.

Comic fans will also instantly recognize her incredible voice work across the DC Universe. Kristin voiced the lethal supervillain Killer Frost in the animated movie 'Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay', and also voiced the Atlantean queen Mera in the beloved early 2000s 'Justice League' animated series.

Do You Remember 'Man Hands' In Seinfeld?

Long before her fantasy and superhero roles, Kristin cemented her place in television comedy history during the legendary eighth season of 'Seinfeld'. In the classic episode "The Bizarro Jerry," she famously played Jerry's beautiful girlfriend, Gillian, who was entirely perfect... except for her infamous "Man Hands." It remains one of the most quotable and hilarious guest appearances in sitcom history!

Her incredibly versatile acting resume also includes memorable appearances in massive hits like 'The Secret Life of the American Teenager', 'Total Security', 'Desperate Housewives', and 'Adam Ruins Everything'.
