Al Norton: You have a big part on one of all time favorite Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes (I Only Have Eyes For You).
Christopher Gorham: That's a good episode, isn't it?
Al Norton: Do people still reference that to you?
Christopher Gorham: Occasionally they do. It reran in the last couple of weeks so all of a sudden my Twitter account was abuzz with people discovering, or rediscovering, that I was in that episode.
Al Norton: There's a lot of strong themes in that episode, in particular about forgiveness and responsibility
Christopher Gorham: It was a big emotional episode, and like you said, there was a lot in there. My clearest memory from filming that episode is technically how it all played out because there were three different sets of actors doing the same scene, and what I was so impressed by was that Sarah Michelle Gellar came to me and asked me how I wanted to play it. She let me play the scene first, essentially, and since she was the star of the show I had been prepared to let her do whatever she wanted to do. I expected her to do what she would do, I would do my thing, and it would all be good, but she came to me and we had a long talk about it. I was always really impressed by that.
