Hip-hop star Snoop Dogg is such a big fan of TV series True Blood - he wants to appear as a vampire on the show.

The rapper, who has starred in movies including Bones and Hood of Horror, professes his love for the hit drama in the lyrics of his new single Gangsta Luv, and now he's hoping producers and casting agents can find him a part in the series, starring Anna Paquin and her real-life fiancé Stephen Moyer.

He says, "You know I'm down with it. I love that show. I wish I could be on it. I'd be a hell of a vampire, don't you think? So what's happening True Blood, get at me - Snoop Dogg wants to be a vampire.'

And Snoop's not the only hit-maker who wants to sink his teeth into a vampire role - Tokio Hotel's frontman Bill Kaulitz is pleading to play a bloodsucker in the Twilight movie franchise.

The German rocker says, "It would be the perfect role for me. That's kind of my dream thing, to play a vampire. I always loved vampire movies, but I never had the right script. I had a lot of offers from different movies, but they weren't the right things. I think (a Twilight film) would be the perfect movie."
