The more we hear about Syfy’s upcoming “Blood Drive” series, the more intrigued we become.  While we wait to see some actual footage from the show, today brings us a bit of casting news that should be a treat for fans of “Falling Skies” and its villain, Pope… read on!

From the Press Release:
Colin Cunningham has been cast as a series regular in Syfy’s “BLOOD DRIVE,” the upcoming drama set in a near-apocalyptic future. Cunningham will play Slink, the nastiest creature you’ll ever dread to meet, created from an ether of pure corruption and sin. Ever the showman, Slink soaks up the spotlight as the mastermind of Blood Drive, an underground death race in which the cars run on human blood.

Cunningham is best known for his portrayal of John Pope alongside Noah Wyle in “Falling Skies.” His film credits include The Sixth Day and Elektra, and in 2009 he directed the award-winning short film Centigrade. Cunningham is repped by D2 Management and Characters Agency.

Pegged to start production in August, “BLOOD DRIVE” is a 13-episode series that centers on Arthur (Alan Ritchson), the last good cop in Los Angeles, and Grace (Christina Ochoa), a dangerous femme fatale partner who has an agenda of her own.

“BLOOD DRIVE” is from Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and executive producers John Hlavin (Underworld: Awakening, “The Shield”), Fredrik Malmberg (Conan the Barbarian), and David Straiton (“Bates Motel,” “Hemlock Grove”), who will also direct. James Roland, who created the series and penned the pilot under Hlavin’s supervision, will serve as supervising producer; and Mark Wheeler will serve as producer.

Look for more soon!
