August 20, 2007 08:29 AM - Mississauga actor Kyle Schmid stars as a 450-year-old vampire who is the illegitimate son of Henry VIII in the new television series, Blood Ties, that debuts tonight on City-TV.
Christina Cox and Dylan Neal also star in the new show along side Schmid, 22, who told Sun Media that he never thought he’d be sinking his teeth into playing a vampire.
“I had grown up watching some of the movies, and I totally loved them, but I never looked at myself as being remotely vampiric,” Schmid told Sun Media, adding that he looked to a beloved family member for inspiration.
"I pulled from my grandfather a little bit, because he's kind of a James Bond-ish, suave gentleman who brings to mind the 1960s and 1970s, mysterious, very smooth and very controlled," Schmid told Sun Media. "That's my mom's dad. He's a cool cat. But he's not a vampire."
Schmid also took from some of his favourite blood-suckers from TV and the movies in developing his character.
Blood Ties is set in Toronto and filmed in Maple Ridge, B.C. It’s based on a series of novels by Tanya Huff.
Schmid, who now lives in Los Angeles, told Sun Media: "I'm looking forward to seeing what my family and friends think."
Blood Ties airs tonight at 8 p.m.
