Miguel Gomez (Bless Me, Ultima ) has landed a regular role in FX ‘s high-profile drama project The Strain , from Guillermo del Toro and Carlton Cuse . The Strain , an adaptation of del Toro’s vampire novel trilogy, formally has a pilot order but is being eyed for a 13- episode series pickup. It is a high-concept thriller that tells the story of Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll), the head of the Centers for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City. He and his team are called upon to investigate a mysterious viral outbreak with hallmarks of an ancient and evil strain of vampirism. Gomez will play Augustin “Gus” Elizalde, a badass gangbanger whose one redeeming trait is his love for his mother. Fresh out of juvenile hall after serving 18 months for manslaughter, he becomes one of humanity’s most effective warriors in the struggle against the vampires.
