"Stephen Moyer has revealed that he was terrified by the prospect of directing an episode of True Blood.  The British actor plays Southern vampire Bill Compton on the HBO series, now in its fifth season.  Moyer signed on to not only star in but direct episode 8 of the new season, titled &amp;#039;Somebody That I Used to Know&amp;#039;.  He admitted to USA Today that despite the excitement of helming the acclaimed show, he also had nerves.  &amp;quot;I was terrified, not of being able to do the job, but I was scared of how the other actors would react to me telling them what to do,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;[But] they were so supportive. It is a giant family, and there were times when I knew they had my back.&amp;quot; The 42-year-old revealed that the only member of the cast who gave him a hard time was his wife Anna Paquin, who plays Sookie Stackhouse.  &amp;quot;I got a bit of sass from the wife,&amp;quot; Moyer quipped. &amp;quot;She was like, &amp;#039;Oh, my God, this director is such a diva&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Moyer and Paquin, who married in 2010, recently announced that they are expecting a baby. True Blood airs on Sundays at 9pm ET on HBO. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
