Members JackPeyton Posted June 23, 2009 Members Share Posted June 23, 2009 'True Blood:' Who's That Girl? Last night's "True Blood" featured an evisceration, a shocking trip home for Jessica, a near orgy and one hilarious mall-set scene that called Bill and Eric's sexuality into question. Yet, this morning, all I can think about is that girl who played Christian singer Amanda Jane and her song, "Jesus Asked Me Out Today." So I forced Sam to morph into a dog so he could track down the actress who played the pigtailed pop star. Three bad leads later, he led me to Molly Burnett. The 21-year-old actress -- who really performs that song -- regularly stars on "Days of Our Lives" as hell-raising Melanie, so her fans will undoubtedly love seeing her as the naughty-but-nice singer. PopWrap: Where did that genius track come from? Molly Burnett: [The writers]. I thought it was great because here you have this provocative pop star moving around like Britney Spears, talking about saving herself for Jesus. It's gold. PW: There is a lot of Miss Spears in your performance, did you look to her as an inspiration? Molly: I kind of did my own thing, but I may have referenced Britney a la the catholic school girl pig tail days! PW: Your character wants Jesus to ask her out, who would you like to go on a date with? Molly: Oh man, Hunter Parrish! PW: You're also a singer, which musicians do you draw inspiration from? Molly: I've got an old school jazz and pop mixture going on. Like Norah Jones meets Christina Aguilera. But James Taylor is my favorite. PW: What are the chances Amanda will be back on "True Blood?" Molly: Fingers crossed for season three!
