The 38-year-old actor, who plays shapeshifting bar owner Sam Merlotte on the HBO series, told Digital Spy that he enjoys the trouble his alter ego gets himself in.
"I had a really good one the first season with the connection to Maryanne and the money, and this past year with my parents - I enjoy being in trouble," he said. "I enjoy the conflict.
"In a way Sam's the sensible eye in the crazy storm of the show. Any kind of bad situation I could be in - I like the bad situations."
He added: "Sam in more trouble - more abuse for Sam, that's what I wish for!"
True Blood returns for its third season in 2010 on HBO in the US. The first season currently airs Wednesdays on Channel 4 in the UK.
