Shortly after obtaining his B.A. degree from U.C.L.A, Christopher Gorham kicked off his professional career by making his TV series-bow with a guest spot in a 1997 episode of ABC’s “Spy Game.” Later that same year, he hit the big screen for the first time in director Danny Boyle’s A Life Less Ordinary, which starred Ewan McGregor, Cameron Diaz and Holly Hunter. Guest appearance in episodes of The WB’s hit “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and the ABC series “Vengeance Unlimited” followed in 1998, but it was his recurring role in the Fox popular show “Party of Five” (1997-1998), where he portrayed Elliott, a love interest of Sarah (Jennifer Love Hewitt) who comes to conclusion that he is gay, that started to put the young actor on the limelight.

In 1999, Gorham eventually received his breakthrough when he landed a costarring role opposite Leslie Bibb, Carly Pope and Sara Sue in the hit comedy-drama series “Popular” (1999-2001).

The Mitch Davis-directed film brought Gorham a Character and Morality in Entertainment, an award he shared with the movie’s producers, director and co-stars.

After “Popular” departed the airways, Gorham joined the cast of the 1998 television drama “Felicity,” playing Trevor O’Donnell from 2001 to 2002, and then was cast as Neil Taggart in the sci-fi series “Odyssey 5,” a gig he held from 2002 until 2003.
