In 2003, he began an ongoing series of live appearances as a model for Let's Paint TV, an interactive call-in television show where host & artist John Kilduff instructs on painting while simultaneously running on a treadmill, preparing food or drink, and fielding uncensored phone calls. Schmidt poses (barely) costumed as the Devil, or a biblical Adam, or as Cupid, or as Nero, or as Bacchus. Most notable among his episodes of LPTV were the ones in November of 2006 when he posed artistically nude while Kilduff stuffed a chicken.
