Doesn’t this photo of him just scream “SUSPENSE”? Consider this PopWatch’s official apology for leaving Ugly Betty star Christopher Gorham out of our ‘Ugly Betty: What Should the Stars Do Next?’ photo gallery, in which we (and you readers) focused on proposing lateral moves for the Betty cast to jump to different TV shows. Those ideas were brilliant. But suddenly, “Oh!” Henry has gone and gotten himself cast in a major motion picture. Christopher Gorham will join Terrence Howard, Liv Tyler, and Patrick Wilson in The Ledge, a suspense thriller written and directed by Matthew Chapman. It’s about a guy (Charlie Hunnam) standing atop a high-rise building, threatening to jump by noon. Gorham will play “the troubled man’s roommate,” a television editor. If he is really a television editor, I am guessing he is troubled, too. Are you as excited as we are to see the (so cute you almost didn’t believe he was really) nerdy kid from Popular in this big-time movie?
Who else from Ugly Betty should set his or her sights on movies, and which types? I don’t mean to be irreverent here, but I had to watch the trailer for Fast Getaway while researching EW’s Corey Haim: 13 Roles We’ll Remember, and couldn’t help wishing Michael Urie would “host” a similarly formatted fabulous man’s guide to life. I’d watch that. I bet Christopher Gorham and his roommate in The Ledge would watch that….

Not usually too into thrillers, but this one sounds like it has a great cast (minus Liv Tyler…), and I’m kind of intrigued by it.
Christopher Gorham, Terrence Howard, Liv Tyler, and Patrick Wilson AND Charlie Hunnam. It’s like I cast this film myself. He’s going in with some amazing talent. I’m so excited for this film!
I’d love to see him on Modern Family as Ty Burrell’s brother. Out of Practice wasn’t a great show, but it had a great cast.
agreed, that’d be great.
I agree with you that would be amazing but I definitely have to disagree too because I loved Out of Practice I thought it was a great show and was really sad it got cancelled. Ty and Chris were the best part of the show I thought they were absolutely hilarious together!
So long as whatever it is results in him taking off his shirt. He has an incredible body that he hides really well.
he’s also in the cast of Covert Affairs on USA
That is great news. USA has such great shows.
I think he can pull off suspense. He was decent in Harper’s Island and played creepy-serial-killer pretty well.
I am so happy for him. He is also in a couple other movies that he made over the past year. “My Girlfriends Boyfriend”., “Trivial Pursuits”, and “Somebody’s Hero”.
Can’t wait to see him on the big screen.
