Christopher Gorham will guest-star in an upcoming episode of TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland.” Unfortunately, this won’t be one of Auggie’s much-anticipated field missions. Instead, the “Covert Affairs” star will be cozying up to Betty White — as a missionary.

In the episode, which is slated to air in June, Gorham will play Casey, a religious missionary who shows up at the cabin Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli), Joy (Jane Leeves), Victoria (Wendie Malick) and Elka (White) are staying at. We can only imagine what the ladies will do to poor Casey.

“Hot in Cleveland” airs Wednesday at 10 p.m. EST on TV Land.

Golden Globe nominee Piper Perabo and Christopher Gorham return as everyone’s favorite special ops duo Annie and Auggie for a third season of CIA action. Yes, USA Network’s hit series Covert Affairs is a go for Summer 2012!

After the success of the first two seasons, Covert Affairs season 3 is sure to live up to fan’s expectations. In case you didn’t see it, Annie made her first kill in the season 2 finale. This can only lead to bigger and better things, right? Of course! There has to be more drama, more bad guys, more to learn from the Domestic Protection Division (DPD) and more “should I laugh at the blind guy or not?” jokes from Auggie!

In season 3 of Covert Affairs there is sure to be more action packed spy drama to unravel. The show’s writers have definitely spoiled the fans rotten with previous seasons, so what could they possibly come up with next? According to Gorham, there’s already been shooting in Istanbul, Stockholm, and Jordan. Plus, it’s his understanding that “Auggie is going to Africa.” Maybe viewers can look forward to spies on African Safari!

Just a little update to inform you that Chris has a new project in the works! He’s currently filming Somebody’s Hero, which according to Chris himself is an indie romcom about a CPA moonlighting as a superhero without any special powers. Chris will be posting some photos from the set soon, so be sure to follow his tweets!

In other news, Chris has officially finished filming both My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend and Trivial Pursuits, which are now in post-production.

I will be posting the Harper’s Island finale screen captures tomorrow. I apologize for being late in posting those, but I have been busy with school. I hope you understand!

More updates coming soon!

Christopher Gorham has been tapped to star opposite Piper Perabo in USA Network’s spy thriller “Covert Affairs.”

The casting is believed to lift the contingency on the pilot.

Written by Matt Corman and Chris Ord, “Affairs” centers on Annie Walker (Perabo), a multilingual CIA trainee who joins the agency still reeling over a mysterious ex-boyfriend who appears to be of particular interest to her bosses.

Gorham will play Auggie Anderson, a CIA military intelligence/special-ops agent blinded years ago on an assignment who is helping Walker navigate her new job.

Instead of giving “Affairs” a straight pilot order, USA last month hired a casting director and began quietly casting the two leads.

With Perabo and Gorham in place, an official green light is considered imminent.

Christopher Gorham, Arielle Kebbel and Chris Parnell are starring in indie comedy “Trivial Pursuits,” written and directed by Christopher Farah. Brother Mike Farah is producing.

Set in the world of competitive bar trivia, the script centers on frustrated academics who finally get a chance at beer, women and nerdy redemption when they enter a citywide trivia tournament. Gorham and Kebbel are the love interests.

The movie just began shooting in Ann Arbor, Mich., of which the Farahs are natives.

Christopher Gorham wasn’t sure he wanted to get lost on “Harper’s Island.”

The CBS series is a horror/mystery/thriller that melds “Survivor,” “Ten Little Indians” and “I Know What You Did Last Summer.” It follows 20-plus characters who arrive on the titular island – a predictably remote and inaccessible one – for the wedding of Henry (Gorham) and his longtime girlfriend Trish (Katie Cassidy), only to have the guests and locals start getting offed one by one, possibly by the same murderer who had terrorized the island years earlier.

The series runs 13 episodes, with a beginning, a middle and an end – and lots of sex, death and gore.

“Like a lot of people when they first hear about it, I was a little confused about how it was going to work,” Gorham said. “So I actually had a conversation with the producer, Jeff Bell, before I went in to audition, to clue me in to exactly what was happening. Also, because it was shooting in Vancouver, I didn’t want to get locked into doing a series up there, because I have kids and I don’t want to have to move up there.

“But I had a great conversation with Jeff. It was very early on in the process, and essentially what he told me was that you have to think of it more like ‘Survivor’ than ‘Lost.’ And, like ‘Survivor,’ if it continues, the cast will change every year, the story will change every year. The only things that would stay the same are the name, ‘Harper’s,’ and the format. It would be another, but different, 13-episode murder mystery.”

First of all, I’m sorry that I haven’t got the chance to update the gallery with screen captures from the latest episode of Harper’s Island, but I was down with the flu. Anyway, to make things up for that, here’s some good news! According to EW’s Ausiello, Chris will be back on Ugly Betty for the two-hour season finale!

This could get ugly.

Christopher Gorham has closed a deal to reprise his role as Betty’s ex-love Henry, setting the stage for a geektastic showdown with her current beau, Matt (Daniel Eric Gold).

Ugly Betty creator Silvio Horta confirms to me exclusively that Gorham — who’s currently trying to stay alive on CBS’ Harper’s Island — will reappear in the show’s two-hour season finale on May 21 when Betty runs into Henry and his new girlfriend Chloe (played by Gossip Girl’s Dream Walker) in the Big Apple. To prove to themselves that they’ve moved on, Betty and Henry agree to go on a double date to a Mets game with their respective significant others. Good times, right? Not exactly…

“As Henry and Betty reconnect, it could potentially threaten her relationship with Matt,” teases Horta, who adds that he’s “really happy” to have Gorham back in the fold. “Chris has always been, and will always be, part of the Ugly Betty family.”

A boatful of beautiful people is headed to scenic Harper’s Island, where Henry and Trish, the also-beautiful perfect couple, are soon to be wed. Liquor flows; everyone is ready to celebrate. Or are they? What sounds like an introduction to any other boring ship-wreck or exotic monster movie is actually the set up to a genuine murder mystery program, the likes of which America has rarely seen. The 13-episode series takes cues from British programming by creating an entirely self-contained storyline, in which at least one character is killed off each episode in a surprising and graphic new way.

Christopher Gorham stars as Henry Dunn, the lovable boy next door and seemingly innocent groom to be. Fans of Ugly Betty will recognize their old friend Henry Grubstick, but Gorham is quick to caution that while his character on Harper’s Island may initially come off sweet and simple, he couldn’t be more different from Betty’s Grubstick. Gorham speaks to Interview about the highly secret series.

LUCY SILBERMAN: I feel like I should call you Henry.

CHRISTOPHER GORHAM: Actually, that’s all I answer to these days.

LS: Should we just jump right in? Should we talk about Harper’s Island?

CG: Yes, please.

LS: How much did you know about the plot and about your character before you started filming?

CG: It was a strange process. I wanted to talk to the show runner [Jeff Bell] to find out how it was going to work. I felt very confident in what he wanted to do, which was to create a closed-end murder mystery story in the vein of Agatha Christie, with some modern elements of Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer—with really great characters that you really care about so that, as they’re getting picked off one by one, it matters. We have 25 characters to introduce in the beginning so there’s a lot going on.

LS: From the pilot, it seems like almost all of the characters have a secret or something going on behind the scenes. You know it’s a murder mystery and you find out pretty quickly that people are going to be picked off.

CG: In the tradition of great murder mysteries, you’ll find you’re suspecting someone else every week and being convinced it’s someone else every week, which is part of the fun and also part of the reason why they’ve taken great pains to keep the secrecy about the project.

LS: So you’re done filming, and you know who the killer (or killers) are. Did you know from the beginning?

CG: No, no one did—well, none of the cast did. We had the experience of being the first audience for the show. An embarrassing amount of our off-camera time was spent trying to figure it out.

LS: I was just going to ask you if you guys theorized about who the killer was [LAUGHS].

CG: I challenge the audience of this show to come up with a theory that we didn’t come up with when we were making it. As a cast, it’s an exercise in trust of your producers that they’re not going to lead you down the wrong path. None of us knew who the killer was, which meant that any of us could be the killer. None of us wanted to make acting choices that might undermine some choice that comes later in the show. So we all had to just trust what they were putting on the page was there for a reason and as long as we played what was there, and played it honestly, then it would all pay off in the end.

LS: This isn’t your first foray into horror acting. You were on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But Harper’s Island is far more graphic. Have you had a lot of experience with that?

CG: No, not at all. We got this 10 PM time slot, and they were shooting two versions of things sometimes: The version that they wanted and then they’d have to dial it back and shoot the version that they thought would probably air. But surprisingly some of the versions I think that they wanted are going to make it. For instance, there’s a scene in the pilot, the post-coital moment between Henry and Trish in the show. That was the racy version that we thought would never make it on TV.

LS: I saw the final cut and it was in there.

CG: For me that’s exciting, because it means that CBS is really going for it and they’re going to be able to push the boundaries a little bit.

LS: It encourages you to relate to the characters a little bit more, too. I know I’m finding myself wondering about your character, Henry. Are we going to find out more about his family and why there are so few of them? With Abby, are we going find out about the relationship with her father and everything that happened? Are we going to know more about the Wakefield murders? There’s a lot of back story.

CG: And I can answer very little of that [LAUGHS].

LS: I understand.

CG: But you will be learning a lot more about these characters… until they get killed. I’m very happy to hear that you want to hear more about them. My fear with the pilot was that there are so many characters to introduce that maybe it has a danger of getting so watered down that you end up not caring about anyone. Of course, the longer the show goes on, you start to lose people that really you’ve gotten attached to.

LS: But because everybody’s getting offed, everybody is a kind of main character. How did the cast get along? Did you guys know each other before shooting started?

CG: No, we all got to know each other pretty quick while we were shooting. There are a lot of big group scenes and it’s a lot of getting ready for this wedding. So we had a lot of time together at the beginning to make nice.
