Cool, street-wise vigilante.
Anti-vampire vigilante Charles Gunn made it his mission to keeps the streets of L.A. bloodsucker-free. Driving a pickup truck festooned with
wooden stakes and backed by an impressive posse, Gunn's life changed the
day his sister was turned into a vampire.
Although not initially Angel's number one fan, Gunn gradually came to
realise that he and the vampire had similar goals and informally joined
Angel Investigations. As time went on, however, his old gang grew
resentful of the fact that Gunn wasn't devoting enough time to them,
causing friction.
Gunn is a tormented soul and a lone ranger, but he will protect his new
'family' at any cost. One of the things that's helped him settle with the gang is his new-found love for Fred - even if it hasn't always made working with Wesley easy.
Jaime Augusto Richards III is a bit of a giant. He's 6' 3" tall. His
acting break came with a touring production Chemi Palooza - a musical
about chemistry. He's also played a rapping bike-messenger who believed
he was a prophet of space aliens.
Attending the same college as Danny Strong and George Hertzberg
(Jonathan and Adam from Buffy), he also studied acting under Eric (ER)
LaSalle. ""It was such a great way to gain confidence and lose
self-imposed limitations," he says of the experience.
J. also loves astronomy and painting and would love to own a life-size
version of the Millennium Falcon.
