FX’s The Strain, which is based on the series of novels written by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan, follows a group of CDC agents as they try to stop a vampiric plague destroying New York. Miguel Gomez stars as Augustin “Gus” Elizade, an ex-con who took a job transporting a van to Manhattan that unbeknownst to him contained the body of The Master (Robert Maillet), which eventually led to the spread of the virus that has infected so many.

Gus was later kidnapped by Vaun (Stephen McHattie), the leader of a group of ancient strigoi intent on killing The Master, who taught him new ways to kill vampires, before he and the group were recently killed by Eldritch Palmer (Jonathan Hyde).

Yesterday Gomez talked to the media about his work on the series, which airs Sundays on FX.

The actor talked to SciFi Vision about how he first became involved with The Strain. “I went in and I met with the beautiful, amazing April Webster, and just talked about the character and what they were looking for. Then I ended up meeting with Carlton Cuse and he was giving me the direction of where they wanted to go with the character, and, yes, everything just fit.”
