Ted Schmidt, he's been rejected more times than Emmett's Visa card.
Ted could be the most insecure queer man in Pittsburgh. A hottie in his own-right, Ted hides what he has under one of the most boring wardrobes known to mankind. He approaches every guy at Babylon with one thought in his mind: "How fast are they going to reject me?" He also has a secret crush on Michael, as well as a predilection for co-dependent relationships. He's past 30, and feels like troll-hood is just around the corner. His biggest joy is being a porn connoisseur, and he knows all the best porn sites on the web.
EARLIEST AMBITION: To be an opera singer or a fluffer on a porn film.
FAVORITE ARIA: Mozart - Act II, Sesto's Aria from La Clemenza Di Tito.
FAVORITE JUNK FOOD: Vanilla Pudding.
GUILTY PLEASURE: Surfing porn sites while at work.
THINGS THAT IRRITATE HIM: Beautiful guys who reject him. Brian getting any guy he wants. Michael being in love with Brian.
SEVEN FAVORITE JEOPARDY! CATAGORIES: Numbers Crunching, Wacky Websites, Parisian Potpourri, Dear John, Wine-o-rama, Teen Heartthrobs and Don't Callas we'll Call You (Anything related to Maria Callas!)
ITEMS THAT ARE ALWAYS IN HIS REFRIGERATOR: A bottle of vintage Dom Perignon that he's saving for a special romantic occasion (It's been there since 1989.)
