J. August Richards: Are there really that few roles for young, handsome, talented black actors?

Really, what's he been up to since Angel ended? This guy should have a starring role already. While chatting with lesbiassparrow earlier, we realized he hasn't really done much since Angel, and we consider this a crime. As such, I am willingly sacrificing my sleep to spread the love.

Just have to say that I love Gunn too and I agree that he was underused in Angel. He was one of those characters who I loved from beginning to the end.

I admit, when he first showed up, he rubbed me a bit the wrong way, but then I realized that it was because they didn't quite know what to do with him, and when I realized that, I realized I loved him.

Okay, total icon love. Is it gackable?

I meant to do a post on how much I like Gunn - he is EEEEEEE fabulous. I am in the middle of the season 2 now (the whole Darla thing just blew up) and seem to be rooting for all sorts of secondary characters. Like Gunn. And I have a crush on Lindsey (especially after he cut his hair)..

oh god.... Lindsay with short hair....

I can't wait for you to watch the end of season 2.

I, too, have a serious cruh on Lindsey. I love him so. Actually, it seems all my Buffyverse crushes are from Angel...

My favorite Gunn story line is in S5 and the Flowers for Algenon with super-lawyer brain.

And I always liked Gunn/Fred. :)

I really wanted to like Gunn/Fred(big tough fighter guy and smart geeky little gal? I should be nuts for it), but I think the way they made it happened annoyed me. Everything they were building up to said Wes/Fred, and then out of the blue they did Gunn/Fred and said thay'd been building up to it all along when...they hadn't built up to it at all.

Yay for picspams, and connection between shows!

However, I never liked Gunn. I thought he was evidence that they were just pulling on random characters and making them regulars. He annoyed me. I hated him with Fred.

I loved Gunn, but they really had no idea what to do with him. I wasn't initially very big on him, but when I realized my problems were that they had no idea what to do with him and not the character himself, I realized I liked him.

And Gunn/Fred never should have happened. At least, not the way it did.

lesbiassparrow November 9 2007, 18:01:36 UTC

Gunn! I loved him so much. I didn't mind Gunn and Fred in the start but they seemed to have no idea how to write them.

I think he is my favourite Buffyverse character.

meganbmoore November 9 2007, 18:11:09 UTC

He is second only to Cordy in my eyes. I honestly believe Gunn/Fred only happened because we didn't expect it, and not a lot more thought went into it than that.
