Eddie Cahill: The One with Rachel's Assistant

'I like your teeny tiny tooshie'

Rachel Green

Friends

Catching an old re-run of Friends last week, I was reminded  of the engaging charm, and the massive adorability factor of actor Eddie Cahill.  I first noticed Cahill as the bisexual Sean on a season 3 episode of Sex and the City, the same year he began his short stint on Friends.   Cahill's turn as Tag Jones was short but memorable, and was briefly in the running to be the father of Rachel's baby.

Cahill's popularity as Tag lead to a string of roles on The WB.  The network tried hard to find a home for the actor, starting with guest shots on Charmed, Felicity and Dawson's Creek. Cahill nabbed the lead in the series Demontown (later renamed Glory Days) but the series only lasted 9 episodes.  Created by Dawson's Creek creator Kevin Williamson, Glory Days was originally conceived as to be similar to Dawson's Creek, but the pilot was re-shot at the networks request to add a more mysterious and supernatural feel.

After his turn on the WB, it was back to network television for long term stints on CSI: New York and guest starring roles on Hawaii Five-0, Conviction NCIS: New Orleans and Under The Dome.  I've never watched a CSI, so Cahill's turn as Tag was the last time I really saw him on TV, but judging by some recent promotional shots, he has't lost a bit of his appeal.
