Hello, boys and girls! I was lucky enough to snag a few moments of Christopher Gorham's time (he plays my boyfriend, Harrison, on the show, in case you didn't know) for a brief interview. With a few surgically precise questions, I was able to illuminate the darkest secrets of his character, as well as the brightest angels. Or something. Okay, so it's not nearly that interesting, but he does sound really cute, and he's awfully devoted to his fiancée, Anel (she plays Vomit Girl). And he told me that he ate Alpo once. Not bad for a first interview, eh?
amorgan: So, how does it feel to be playing a serial killer/adorable high-school student on a great big TV show?
Christopher Gorham: First of all, let me say that the whole "zombie bride" bit is hilarious! As for playing the part, it's a blast. It's fantastic working full time, and with my fiancée to boot!
amorgan: What did you dress up as for Halloween, and where did you go?
CG: Anel and I dressed up as Rosemary and Guy, from Rosemary's Baby. We took her three-year-old nephew trick-or-treating, and then caught the late screening of A Nightmare Before Christmas.
amorgan: Hometown and date of birth, please.
CG: Fresno, California, August 14, 1974.
amorgan: Who would you rather do It with: Bret Michaels or Tommy Lee? Why?
CG: Neither. I'm ashamed to say, I don't even know who Bret Michaels is! Sorry.
amorgan: What's the last movie you saw? What did you think about it?
CG: The Bone Collector. I really enjoyed Denzel Washington's performance, and had a good time guessing who did it. But GO SEE Boys Don't Cry!
amorgan: Do you get to keep all the clothes that you wear on the show?
CG: Nope, none of them.
amorgan: What's the most extravagant thing you've done with the money you've earned from doing Popular?
CG: I'm paying for my wedding!
amorgan: What's the last day job you had?
CG: I sold theater tickets over the phone. It was similar to TicketMaster.
amorgan: How often do you change the sheets on your bed?
CG: About once a week, and all because of me. Anel's side is always immaculate, and scented with roses! ["Oh. My God. Does this guy have a brother or what?" -- Sars]
amorgan: What's the lamest thing that happened to you in high school?
CG: All of my drama teachers -- there were three -- turned against me for no good reason. Ms. Miles, Ms. Robertson, and Mr. Weatherford all decided to try and make my senior year a living hell. To this day, I don't know why.
amorgan: What's the coolest thing that happened to you in high school?
CG: I won this goofy competition in New York. I was declared the "Young Male Talent of the Year." It was pretty exciting, at the time. I was then, of course, humiliated when I came back to my school and they had posted pictures of me all over the place.
amorgan: What's the weirdest thing you've ever eaten?
CG: I've eaten dog food. Alpo, I believe. Me and the neighbor kid just had to know.
amorgan: If you could have a dinner party with any of history's greatest monsters, who would you select?
CG: Dracula, of course, I'm obsessed. Then I would have to invite Beelzebub, he's been around forever. I would include the classics, Mummy, Werewolf, Frankenstein and his monster. Chulpalcabra would be there, the Boogyman, and last, but not least, the ever elusive Blair Witch.
