Anyone who has worked in customer service knows that customers can suck — but what happens when one customer in question sucks your blood on a shift, quite literally? (In the customer's defense, they were trying to save a life.)
That's the conundrum Reginald (Jacob Batalon) finds himself in at the start of the hilarious new SyFy comedy series Reginald the Vampire. Poor Reginald realizes that becoming a vampire doesn't free him from society's unrealistic expectations of beauty.
In fact — it's much worse in the world of beautiful vampires. So, who is in the Reginald the Vampire cast? We've got the details for you here!
Jacob Batalon is Reginald, the non-sparkly vampire.
Record scratch – "Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I got in this situation."

In real life, Em shares a fun connection with Jacob's career — she has also been in a superhero film! Em played a small part in the first Deadpool movie. The actress also played the character Elspeth on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, in addition to roles on shows like Fargo and Supernatural.
Aren Buchholz plays Reginald's jerk of a boss.
Todd would probably approve your PTO and then ask why you weren't at work on your days off.
If there's one thing worse than being turned into a vampire, it's a boss who constantly degrades you. Unfortunately, that's what Reginald has to deal with when he interacts with Todd, his boss at the Slushy Shack.
