Most memorable TV character replacements

Patrick, 54, appeared in several episodes last season as Alcide's (Joe Manganiello) dad, Jackson. Although ABC opted not to pick up the back nine episodes of Last Resort, the submarine drama from Shawn Ryan, all of the actors are still under contract, except Patrick, who was released to join True Blood.

Patrick is also known for his roles in Terminator 2, The X Files and The Unit.

Are you excited to see more of Alcide's dad on True Blood this season?
