Chris Lowell from THE HELP. He was also in VERONICA MARS, Season 3.

And he was also in Private Practice as Dell the secretary. I’m a little ashamed of knowing that, that show is admittedly terrible…

Loved him in The Help
The Real Mike in Asheville
FYI: Sundance also has a mini-movie festival at BAM — the Brooklyn Academy of Music where you can see many of the hits from the annual Sundance Film Festival. We used to go when we lived in Brooklyn and enjoyed many a show.
