You look familliar...

I was watching Once Upon a Time tonight, and Christopher Gorham appeared on screen, and for a moment, I thought he was Ben Whishaw. It turns out, he used to be even more Q-esque.

I think the Holmes family have enough sons, but if they're looking for a cousin or something...

I have a lot of respect for Christopher though, his character on Covert Affairs is blind (due to a special forces combat injury) and he's done (and continues to do) a LOT of work to make sure he portrays the character accurately and uses his fame to raise money and awareness for a lot of blind/wounded vet causes.


Oh, that's super cool. I love it when actors take the time to do it right, and use their position for good.

It's really great- he's always tweeting links to things and he's donated a bunch of show related stuff like signed scripts and stuff to auctions for the blind organization he works with (I can't remember it's name off the top of my head, I think it's one for the province that Covert Affairs films in) and he's done PSAs too.
