I am – Hercules!!

No, not Tom Cruise! The other LeStat de Lioncourt, Stuart Townsend, 32, who played the rock & roll vampire in 2002's “Queen of the Damned.” Townsend also played Dorian Gray in 2003's “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.”

Which is appropriate, because Townsend will play a much younger Carl Kolchak in this new version of "Kolchak: The Night Stalker." Darren McGavin was already 52 when he essayed the Chicago-based vampire-hunting journalist in 1974.

That hot black high-school cheerleader from "Bring It On," Gabrielle Union, now 31, has been cast as well.

It’s just an ABC pilot at this point. We’ll find out in about two and a half months whether it becomes a fall series or not.
