Pruitt Taylor Vince, born July 5, 1960, is an American actor who plays the role of Dr. Finn psychiatrist on the HBO original series True Blood. Making his debut on the episode "You're No Good" in the series' sixth season, Pruitt plays a recurring role through the same season. A psychiatrist who works for Truman Burrell in his vampire concentration camp, Pruitt speaks in a calm, even tone, which provides therapy to prisoners. He is interested in learning what makes them tick, and he eventually meets an untimely death in the Season 6 episode "Life Matters".

Apart from True Blood he guest starred in many shows among them AMC's The Walking Dead.

Biography

Vince was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He attended Louisiana State University[1] and began acting due to a mistake; a computer error in his high school registration scheduled him in an acting class, a subject which Vince has never left.

Divorced from his first marriage, Vince remarried in 2003 to Julianne Mattelig. He has pathologic nystagmus, a condition which causes a person's eyes to move involuntarily.

Vince made his film debut in Jim Jarmusch's Down by Law, but his scenes wound up on the cutting room floor. He had prominent supporting roles in a number of major films, including a turn as a dimwitted Ku Klux Klan member in Mississippi Burning, Lee Bowers in JFK, and the main character's best friend in Nobody's Fool. He also starred in Giuseppe Tornatore's The Legend of 1900 alongside Tim Roth. He had his first lead role in James Mangold's independent film Heavy, playing a sweet, silent overweight cook harboring a crush on a waitress (Liv Tyler).

Vince often alternates roles of both heroic and villainous characters, like a lovable small town pub owner in Beautiful Girls, a serial killer with multiple personalities in Identity (a second collaboration with director Mangold), the disheveled gossip columnist in s1mone, and a pompous sheriff in Nurse Betty. He can also be seen in Love from Ground Zero as Walter. Vince also played a Southern cop in Angel Heart, a kidnapper's assistant in Trapped, and a deputy prison warden in Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers.

Vince received an Emmy Award in 1997 for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his role as serial killer Clifford Banks during the second season of the television series Murder One.[2] More recently he appeared in the movie Constantine. Other film titles include the neo-noir China Moon and the psychological horror film Jacob's Ladder.

Guest appearances on TV shows include Deadwood, Alias, The X-Files, Miami Vice, Quantum Leap, Chicago Hope, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Highlander: The Series, and the American remake of Touching Evil. In 2011 he appeared as Otis in the AMC television series The Walking Dead. He also had a guest role playing a 600-lb. patient in Fox's medical drama House. In 2010–2011 Pruitt Taylor Vince had a multi-episode appearance in The Mentalist. In 2012, he appeared in a full episode of Justified.[3] He shows great comedic talent as "Jelly" in Flypaper.
