REVIEW: Gale Harold is “Favorite Character on the Show.”

Thanks to @tsarina777 we have a wonderful review from OffcolorTV.com

Charles in Charge

The Secret Circle. Charles in Charge.

…favorite character on the show so far, played by Gale Harold, is Charles Meade.  He’s got serious swagger; you can tell he’s King Shit around town.  He’s hot, he’s charming and he’s secretly evil, which is the best kind of evil.  If you’ve seen Queer As Folk, you understand why I love this character.  He’s basically playing Brian Kinney, except he’s a witch instead of the hottest gay manslut in the history of ever.  The expression on his face when he was killing Cassie’s mom was the same blasé nonchalance Kinney used to display while he was getting a bj in the bathroom at Club Babylon.  Even if you’re not a QAF fan, you had to love his character here – he’s going to be a very fun villain.  I think it’s great that the parents are interesting and involved in the story, unlike most teen shows which all seem to favor absentee guardians (Pretty Little Liars much?).  Charles is Diana’s dad, which only furthers my suspicion that Diana is actually the scariest member of the circle.  The apple and the tree and all that…

‘The Secret Circle’ premiere: Spellbound by Phoebe Tonkin and Gale Harold

By Carina Adly MacKenzie

…We’ve loved Gale Harold‘s work for years, and saw occasional glimpses of his darker side as Brian on “Queer as Folk” — but as Charles, he instantly gave us the chills. The deliberate, calculated nature of the murder in the first scene, particularly given the fact that he obviously knew Amelia, was terrifying.

The best scene in the pilot was easily his drowning scene with Ethan – the juxtaposition of power and weakness was stirring…

Review: “The Secret Circle” is Worth Joining (Even if it’s Nothing New)

…And Queer as Folk’s Gale Harold gets a chance to go back to chewing major scenery as Charles Meade, the show’s handsome and (initially) charming Big Bad. There’s a particularly effective scene where he threatens someone with drowning by magically showing them exactly what it would feel like…

A Stellar Review for Gale Harold’s Performance in The Secret Circle

 

The LA TV Examiner has given Gale an amazing review; calling him one of the stand-outs on The Secret Cirlce

…Harold is the epitome of one such dynamic, a natural born lead, and the perfect villain for this tale: dark, sulky, and somewhat greasy-haired. He is secretive and as a man of few words, stoic, but he bears down and commits in a way that makes you unable to look away. His presence looms over every scene, even the ones in which he is not in, because the performance is just that memorable…  FULL ARTICLE
