"I've always wanted to shrink": 'Van Helsing' star Aleks Paunovic on being 'big' and Julius's return to humanity in Season 3

Aleks plays the role of a vampire, Julius on SyFy's hit series Van Helsing, and apart from that he has also indulged in productions, music and boxing.

He might be a sexy, buff vampire on screen in the hit show Van Helsing, but in real life, Aleks Paunovic is just your regular dude with a love for all things creative, and of course - food.

And now, on the brink of the release of Van Helsing's upcoming season 3, which hits the network on October 5, 2018, at 9 pm ET, Aleks spills the beans on being the  'big dude' in the industry, and his go-to methods for adapting to such intense, violence plots onscreen.
