Chris Gorham Leverages the Second Screen For TV Success

When the fourth season of USA Network's hit show Covert Affairs premieres Tuesday night, fans will get to enjoy a prequel storyline — thanks to the second screen.

The series, dubbed Sights Unseen: Auggie Undercover, will run for six weeks and introduce viewers to a part of character Auggie Andersen's life before he lost his sight. Created in conjunction with Jaguar, the webisodes will focus on Auggie's relationship with Russian-hacker Natasha — a character fans may remember from season 1 of the show.

For Christopher Gorham, the actor who plays Auggie, the second screen and social TV are an increasingly important part of business. Gorham, who has an active presence on Twitter (he's @Chris_Gorham), stopped by Mashable HQ to talk about the new web series, the future of the second screen and social media's growing importance to television.
