Though you may not see her in her "The Power" role, Adina Porter's voice should be recognizable across most genres of television. She has appeared in Aaron Sorkin's endeavors such as "The Social Network" and "The Newsroom" while lending her name to the prolific world of sci-fi and fantasy. Throughout the tenure of The CW's dystopian drama "The 100," Porter played the integral role of Indra, a warrior of the formidable Trikru. But the actor is perhaps best known for her work in horror television. "True Blood" remains the pinnacle of vampire television from its outrageous campiness to its authentic performances. Porter was part of this legacy as Lettie Mae, Tara's (Rutina Wesley) alcoholic mother. As an actor raised in the theater, she was ever the consummate professional.
"When I first got the role, I remember getting the book, 'The Boy Named It,'" Porter told Bleep in 2016. "I wanted to get into the mindset of what rationalization these people gave themselves for being abusive to children. I read that to keep myself in that space." This trend continued with her work on "American Horror Story." Recurring throughout the show beside greats like Sarah Paulson, Porter's performance in the divisive "Cult" season earned her an Emmy nomination. Unlikely that the wide Ryan Murphy world of horror will end any time soon, she is a prime candidate to be pushed to the forefront of repeat actors.
