Thanksvember: Ioan Gruffudd

November is a month for giving thanks, and this year we TV lovers have a lot to be thankful for, so we’re posting a note of gratitude every day this month. Get the whole list here.

Today Melissa, Bethanne and Cay are all thankful for…

Melissa: Ioan Gruffudd on my TV! I’ve been a fan since he starred as Horatio Hornblower back in the ’90s, enjoyed many of his projects since then, and am delighted to see him every week in Forever. Thank you, Matt Miller, for giving us a weekly dose of the Welshcake!

Bethanne: I’m thankful for Ioan Gruffudd on my TV every week. That is all.

Cay: Henry Morgan (Ioan Gruffudd) on Forever for his child-like enthusiasm for new discoveries, despite his 200 years of experience.

Ioan Gruffudd stars in Forever, Tuesdays at 10/9c on ABC.
