Daniel Eric Gold Joins Ugly Betty

Charlie Wilson’s War star Daniel Eric Gold has snagged a recurring role in Ugly Betty, reports EW.

The up-and-coming actor will play Matt, a friend Betty (America Ferrera) meets at YETI (Young Editors’ Training Initiative).

Betty and Matt have a future together, one that involves a big secret Matt has.

Looks like it’s the end of the storyline for Betty’s current love interest, Jesse (Val Emmich)!

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Ugly Betty’s new cast member — HOT or NOT?

I just saw the latest episode of UGLY BETTY and this guy is growing on me. Love the fact that he called Betty his girlfriend for the first time. Loving this character. He made me forget Henry (which I thought was hard to do) and that’s a good thing!

He’s adorable - that picture does not do him justice!

Although I hate they keep giving her love interest after love interest (why can’t she just have a male friend?), he seems like a keeper! The writers have done a great job making his character lovable!!

(By the way, when I first saw “Matt” I thought he looked like Josh Groban so I was immediately intrigued! I adore Josh!)

I absolutely love Daniel Eric Gold! He is really Hot and totally love him for Betty… I think he is really good for her and is helping her grow up… I like that he sees beyond the braces, wild clothes, and he finds her attractive…. I love Matt!!!!! I agree that the picture does not do him justice at all….

I think he’s cute & hope he sticks around for a while.. Hopefully this relationship will be a long-term one..Like everyone says, for someone who is suppose to be “ugly” she seems to attract a lot of guys. He seems to be a liitte more on an even level (personality wise) with Betty than her previous relationships. (not too nerdy, but yet able to put Betty in her place when she needs it)

I love Matt in Season 3… he palyed the role of a Prince Charming (although many thinks he’s not at par with Henry), and a very big plus… is the way he stood for Betty many times… the way Hanry can never do.

I wish they get back together in Season 4.
