Christopher Gorham played 50s student James Stanley in 2.19 I Only Have Eyes For You. He starred in Jake 2.0, a show ran by Buffy’s David Greenwalt. Christopher also played Harrison John in Popular, Trevor O’Donnell in Felicity, and appeared in the movie A Life Less Ordinary as Walt. In an interview with Zap2it (August 2003), Christopher Gorham talked about his time on the Buffy set:
“Sarah Michelle Gellar was unbelievable to work with … I show up and I’m thinking, ‘OK, well, I’m a guest star on the show. They’re going to tell me how Sarah did it, and then I’m going to copy what she did.’ No. I did it first, and then Sarah and David and the other two guest stars, they watched the dailies of what I did, and they matched me. On one of the days where we were actually working together, she comes up to me and says, ‘Chris, listen, how do you want to play this scene?’ Blown away. I was so floored. I couldn’t believe it. I was like, ‘OK … yeah, this is how I was going to do it.’ But I couldn’t believe she would even ask … coming onto a series where she’s already a huge star, you don’t expect her to do that. She was unbelievable, just great. Nothing bad to say about her.”
Gorham’s compliments also extended to Buffy’s creator, Joss Whedon:
“He is unbelievable. I ran into him a year later. I was at the building, auditioning for something else completely. He walked by, ‘Hey, Chris, how you doing?’ Floored. Could not believe he remembered who I was. So yes, he’s just really cool.”
