From the Toronto Star:

• TV’s Blood Ties short on brains
  “Lesson Nos. 4, 5. and 6: Some vampires can’t be repelled with garlic or a silver cross. Photogenic vampires can see their reflection in a mirror, especially when working on TV shows with limited budgets for special effects. And even a seductive vampire with mind-control abilities is no match for an obstinate mortal woman.” Read more.

• Schmid thirsty to make his mark
  “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 said. “That’s my mom’s dad. He’s a cool cat. But he’s not a vampire.” Read more.

From iF Magazine:

• Gina Holden is no Damsel in Distress on Flash Gordon
  “I think we were shooting and I was possessed by a demon [on BLOOD TIES], so I went in to read for [FLASH GORDON]. I only had a couple hours sleep and I didn’t even have the script yet. The only time I could go in, I had a whole different vibe going on, that dark Goth, demon vibe which is obviously quite different than Dale. It was really funny. It turned out for the best, and if you’re right for the part, you’re right for the part, so it all worked out.” Read more.
