  • Theodore "Ted" Schmidt is a fictional character from the American Showtime television drama series Queer as Folk, played by Scott Lowell. Fellow show cast member Peter Paige, who plays Emmett Honeycutt originally auditioned for the role. Lowell was cast and he stated that he had an instant connection with the character. Queer as Folk is based on the British show of the same name and Ted is loosely based on the character Phil Delaney, played by Jason Merrells. Phil was killed off in that series, whereas show creator Daniel Lipman decided to develop the character into a full-time role for the US version. Ted is portrayed as a gay man uncomfortable with his thirty-something age. He wants to date younger men in their twenties and who are considered inappropriate. This was demonstrated as Ted became involved with the drug addicted Blake Wyzecki (Dean Armstrong). Ted takes it upon himself to save Blake from addiction but fails. The show developed an on-screen partnership between Lowell and Paige's Ted and Emmett. The duo were played as best friends who later start a romance. The character's main storylines have been self-confidence issues, having plastic surgery and a drug addiction to crystal meth. Lowell worked with a medical consultant to create an accurate portrayal of a descent into drug addiction. The actor has praised the story for showing how men with low self-esteem, like Ted, are prone to addiction. The character has been generally well received by television critics, though some have criticized his long-suffering persona. (en)

dbp:quote
  • "Ted, being the only main character over the age of thirty at the beginning of the show, is referred to as "dead man walking", constructed as the least sexually desirable of the four, constantly jealous of Brian's sexual conquests, secretly pining over youthful men, and living his life in a self effacing state of rejection."
