Roles:
[Mark Kane]
Male mid 40s - early 50s Series Regular
Ten years ago, Mark had a perfect life. He was a rising-star chef, had a loving wife and a beautiful twelve year-old daughter, Eleanor. Then one night, his life turned upside down when Eleanor was attacked and bitten by a mysterious creature who vanished into the night. Then Mark watched as his daughter turned into something else, a monster who only survives by living off the blood of living people. For ten years, Mark has kept Eleanor alive in the most unimaginable way-by bringing her the food she needs. For ten years they have lived on the lam. And for ten years, Mark has never given up hope of finding the creature that bit Eleanor, and ultimately finding a cure. Returning home to Chicago after a long time on the road, Mark is convinced that the recent spike in homicides will finally lead him to the answers he desperately seeks. SERIES REGULAR
