My Take
Christopher Gorham is one of those actors who keeps showing up in shows you love, and every single time he's the reason you stay invested. From playing the earnest, perpetually-flustered Henry on Ugly Betty to the charming blind CIA analyst Auggie on Covert Affairs, he has this uncanny ability to make "the decent guy" feel genuinely compelling rather than boring — which is actually a harder trick to pull off than playing a villain. He studied at UCLA, grew up in Fresno, and somehow channeled that wholesome sincerity into a career that spans network drama, dark comedy like Insatiable, and genre fare. I'd honestly put him in the "chronically underrated" category: he rarely lands the flashy award-bait role, but the shows he anchors are consistently watchable, and a huge part of that is him.
