Reginald Andres finally got his life together – when he was turned into a vampire. While he doesn’t fit into the stereotypical expectations of what a vampire looks like – he’s not chiseled or classically handsome – Reginald has found his place amongst an unlikely cohort that includes the cool vampire who sired him, the former vampire chieftain turned unexpected ally (or is she?), and his co-worker/former girlfriend. A show with a lot of heart and just enough blood, “Reginald the Vampire” proves the undead life is just as complicated as life itself.
Jacob Batalon made his debut as executive producer and lead star as the titular character Reginald Baskin in Syfy’s REGINALD THE VAMPIRE, a dramedy based on Johnny B. Truant’s FAT VAMPIRE book series. The story is set in a world populated by beautiful, fit, and vain vampires with Batalon’s Reginald being the unlikely hero who will have to navigate every kind of obstacle – the girl he loves but cannot be with, a bully manager at work and the vampire chieftain who wants him dead.
Batalon has established himself as a leading star in the industry with his ability to resonate with his characters and captivate global audiences. Following the success of his scene-stealing role as Peter Parker’s charming best friend ‘Ned Leeds’ in the MCU Spider-Man films with Tom Holland, Batalon continues to dominate film and television both on and off the screen.
Following the immediate break out success of SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING in 2017, Batalon went on to reprise his role in SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR and AVENGERS: END GAME. He also starred in Netflix’s LIFT and LET IT SNOW, EVERY DAY for MGM, Randall Park’s debut film SHORTCOMINGS; and the independent films THE TRUE DON QUIXOTE; BLOOD FEST; DISH and BANANA SPLIT.
