The Reporter says Gilford is also thisclose to securing a role in The River Why, the film adaptation of David James Duncan's novel. — J.R. Whalen

While I am very happy for Zach, I hope that this success doesn't make him too big for his modest FNL britches! But seriously... Congratulations!

Zach Gilford is so incredibly good, so natural, on FNL. I can only assume he hasn't been recognized by the Emmys because he makes acting look so easy.

Wait, is this based on the gay short movie? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450256/ Because if it is, that is AWESOME. It's awesome either way, but that short film was excellent.
