Ben Koldyke Cast as Gay Character on Big Love
A relative newcomer has been cast in Big Love as Alby's gay lover, Dale.
Ben Koldyke joins the show for its upcoming fourth season. He'll portray the aforementioned recurring character, who has been struggling with his homosexuality in the gay reparative group, Evergreen.
“We want them to be a sexy couple you’ll root for,” executive producer Mark V. Olsen recently said of Dale and Alby, ominously adding: “It will not end well.”
Koldyke's only other small screen role was as a random police officer on season two of 24. No premiere date for the fourth season of Big Love has been announced yet, but we posted a preview of it last month.

It would be nice if a normal gay character appeared on Big Love... and one that does not commit suicide.

That's the guy who plays Rickety Cricket on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".

I don't know who's in that picture, but it isn't Ben Koldyke. FYI, he's also currently appearing in How I Met Your Mother as Robin's co-anchor/love interest.
