Colin Cunningham

Starring as the mischievous ring master Julian Slink in SYFY's "Blood Drive" (June release.) Colin Cunningham has built a long and storied career as a true 'chameleon'.

For 5 Seasons, Cunningham starred alongside Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood in the Steven Spielberg / Dreamworks produced series "Falling Skies," for TNT. Cunningham played scene stealer, "John Pope," the rogue survivor of the alien attack that has hit the world.

In addition to "Falling Skies," Cunningham recurred on the CBS series "Flashpoint." and was seen on the TNT pilot "Perception" alongside Eric McCormack. In addition, Cunningham has been a series lead on critically acclaimed shows such as "Da Vinci's Inquest" [CBC], and "Living in Your Car" for HBO Canada. On film, Cunningham has been pursed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Sixth Day [Columbia Pictures], and put his life on the line for Jennifer Garner in Elektra [20th Century Fox]. He has also appeared in multiple indie favorites, including comedic turns in Best In Show with Christopher Guest [Warner Bros.] and Breakfast With Scott [Regent Releasing].

In 2009, Cunningham made a name for himself as a director, when he [along with actor/producer Madison Graie] made the short-list for an Academy Award Nomination, for their film CENTIGRADE. The film [in which Cunningham also starred] took over two dozen "Best Of" awards and nominations, and in addition to being considered for the Oscar, it became the first short film in iTunes history to break the Top Ten in Feature Downloads, finding itself right alongside such Hollywood blockbusters as Iron Man and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The film hit numerous Top Ten Lists, including the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Palm Springs International Film Festival, the Vancouver International Film Festival, the Jackson Hole International Film Festival, the Montreal World Film Festival, Short Film Corner [Cannes], Best of Shorts Film Festival [France], and Canadian Film Center [CFC]. Centigrade enjoys the notoriety as one of the most successful short films ever made and is currently being developed into a project for television.
