Actor/rapper Kirk Jones, aka Sticky Fingaz, will star in Spike's upcoming Blade TV series, an adaptation of the comic book-turned-movie franchise, Zap2It reported. Jones was last seen as a soldier in F/X's Over There and will play the title role of the half-vampire, half-human warrior.

David S. Goyer, who wrote all three Blade films and directed the last one, Blade: Trinity, is co-writing the pilot and will serve as an executive producer on the TV show.

Jones will be joined in the cast by Jill Wagner, Neil Jackson, Jessica Gower and Nelson Lee. Goyer is writing the pilot with comic-book scribe Geoff Johns; the two have previously worked together on the Justice Society of America comic for DC Comics. Peter O'Fallon (House) will direct the pilot, which is scheduled for a June 2006 premiere.

I forgot they were doing that - should be a cool show :)

I don't suppose they could have gotten a real actor for something like this?
