Nerd alert.


OF ALL THE MAN MEAT on Ugly Betty Ugly Betty is an Emmy-winning[1] American television comedy-drama series starring America Ferrera, Eric Mabius, Rebecca Romijn and Vanessa Williams. The series premiered on September 28, 2006, on ABC in the United States and on Citytv in Canada. , it's the unlikeliest guy who has become the show's standout stud--four-eyed accountant Henry. Played by 33-year-old Christopher Gorham (who portrayed a gay teen on Party of Five) Henry has tapped into our secret nerd fetish fetish (fĕt`ĭsh), inanimate object believed to possess some magical power. The fetish may be a natural thing, such as a stone, a feather, a shell, or the claw of an animal, or it may be artificial, such as carvings in wood. .

For many gay fans of Betty, Henry represents that librarian fantasy-like outside the confines of Meade Publications, he's pretty wild.

I think there's some truth to that. Henry's a passionate guy--be works and plays with equal passion.

That's a diplomatic answer. [Laughs] Yeah, I try.

Why does Henry walk like a robot?

You know, that's really funny. I made up this backstory back·sto·ry

1. The experiences of a character or the circumstances of an event that occur before the action or narrative of a literary, cinematic, or dramatic work:
 where I imagined one of the reasons Henry is so attracted to Betty is that be too was made fun of a lot as a kid. And I imagined [he was teased] because he had severe scoliosis Scoliosis Definition

 and had to wear a brace--that's why be has such an erect posture.

You're married, you have two kids, and you live in the suburbs of Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. . Do you see yourself as a family guy?

Yeah, but it's all been very gradual. It's only upon looking back that I think, My God, only 10 years ago I didn't have any kids--I didn't even have a dog.

What's that we hear about Freddy Rodriguez This article is about the actor. For the cyclist, see Fred Rodriguez.
Freddy Rodriguez (born January 17, 1975) is a Puerto Rican-American actor known for playing sensitive Hector Federico "Rico" Diaz on HBO's Six Feet Under.
 (Six Feet Under) joining the show as a love interest for Betty? Should we be worried about you?

If you're asking if I should be worried about my job, then the answer is no [laughs]. I'm not worried about Henry leaving the show anytime soon, but Freddy is definitely coming to spice things up.

Who would win in a Betty grudge match-Walter, Daniel, or Henry?

Well, Eric [Mabius] is a pretty big guy, so Daniel would probably win. But if we're taking all things into account, if it's a meeting of the minds, then Henry definitely comes out ahead. I'd also say so on personality, not to mention dashing good looks.

Ugly Betty's second season premieres September 27 on ABC ABC
