What actor plays 'Gary' on the plane with the Susan Berg character?


This is driving me crazy--who plays "Gary", Susan's love interest on the plane?

I think it was Eric Mabius, who played Daniel on Ugly Betty, but I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks. That's it!

Kinda sad - we watched Betty for its whole run, and neither of us could place him. But with our short attention span, it's the game of 'what were they on?'
An hour later, my wife noticed Louanne Stephens - Saracen's grandmother on FNL, playing the sheriff's office dispatcher on Longmire. Sharp eyes!

I had to look up the actor's name though. When I saw him, I could only remember his role on Ugly Betty and couldn't remember his real name.

Awe man you guys!! That's a shame, lol. I knew who he was immediately...not that that's really anything to brag about, lol.

Don't feel bad. I recognized his name in the credits in the beginning of the ep, watched almost all "Ugly Betty" episodes, and MET HIM...and it still took me the second or third scene he was in to realize that "Gary" was Eric Mabius. He looks so different to me with longer hair.

Did you mean to hit reply to me or the original poster?
