Personal Quote:

[on his role as Charles Gunn on "Angel":] When I change my lines, I just deliver them and wait for their reaction. I just kind of ad-lib sometimes and they'll pull me back or they'll just let it go. When they have a problem with it, they tell me. It's not that I have to change much, because they usually get it right... See more »

Trivia:

Says that his mother didn't want him to become an actor; instead, she had hopes of him becoming a lawyer or a priest. In the final season of Angel, Gunn got a special brain spell and became a top Wolfram & Hart lawyer. In Conviction he played a lawyer again, this time at the DA's Office. He then played a prosecutor again on Raising the Bar. See more »
