This week, I went with one of my favorite TV actors, Richard Burgi. A familiar face on American TV, he has had recurring roles on "24," "Point Pleasant," "Judging Amy," "Desperate Housewives," "Las Vegas," "The District," "Viper" and many others. He has guest starred on shows such as "Firefly," "Just Shoot Me," "CSI," and "Reaper."
(wiki) Born in Montclair New Jersey, he started his acting career in New York, with roles on the soap operas "Days of Our Lives," "Another World" and "As the World Turns." Later, he landed the lead in the short-lived "One West Waikiki" and he was then cast as the villain in the short-lived genre show, "Viper." That role led to his being cast as the Detective Jim Ellison in UPN's sci-fi action show, "The Sentinel."
His film roles include Cellular, In Her Shoes, Starship Troopers 2, Hostel 2, Darklight, Decoys and the upcoming remake of Friday the 13th.
An active surfer and environmentalist, he is supporter of both the San Clemente-based Surfrider Foundation, which works to protect and preserve shoreline and coastal environments, and the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, a Laguna Beach volunteer-run and funded organization which tends to the needs of sick or injured seals, sea lions, and other marine mammals. The Moonridge Zoo and Animal rescue in Big Bear, California, renamed their annual celebrity fundraiser, "Sentinel Day," due to the two lead actors' involvement in their cause.
So, he's a nice guy, but is he a hunk? You be the judge.
