Hugh O'Gorman

Biography:

Well, I could attempt a passable bio of Hugh, but out of kindness to everyone reading this I'll just send you to a definitive one located here.

Favorite Performances:

I first discovered this talented actor several years ago while flipping channels. I stumbled across a show called "Remember WENN" on the American Movie Classics channel. Talk about a fortuitous accident! This show was set in the years prior to World War II. In fact, when it ended they were right in the midst of the war. It was a great balance of drama, romance and humor. Hugh played a charming radio actor named Jeffrey Singer. He was always having these incredible verbal battles with his wife Hilary Booth. Well, sometimes she was his wife. Other times they were at each other's throats. These two actors had such amazing chemistry and the delicious lines they were given to say! The whole cast was good, but it was those two that really grabbed my attention. It was a brilliant show and it is sorely missed. Especially since I only have two of the episodes on tape : (

I also saw him in two episodes of the TV show "Law & Order" in 1997. He played a US Attorney named Chuck Rodman. He played the friend of one of the female Assistant District Attorney's. I can't remember which one. She brought him in to help with a case. The resulting events put a serious strain on their friendship. He did a very good job in a fairly small role. My only complaint is he wasn't in it enough. But I say that for everything he's in.

Finally, in late February, 2000 I sat down to watch NBC's "The 10th Kingdom" If you read any other part of this site yet I think you know how I feel about it already. The sad thing is I didn't recognize him at first. His voice was familiar but I just couldn't place him. Really bugged me too. It wasn't until I saw "The Making of the 10th Kingdom" a few days later that I realized who it was. How blind can one person be?

He played Burly the Troll. The oldest child of Relish the Troll King. He had some great lines- 'you are crafty'; 'torture first, then you talk, it's better that way'; and 'rush a torture, ruin a torture'. He was totally believeable as a Troll. Funny yet dangerous. I really felt bad for him when he was mourning his father's murder. A marvelous performance by an excellent actor.

Current Information:

In April, 2000 he was in the play "The Philadelphia Story" with Alison Eastwood and Briant Wells. He played C. K. Dexter Haven, a role that was played in the 1940 film by Cary Grant.
