Ugly Betty Guest Stars We Love: Victor Garber

Character on Ugly Betty: Professor Barrett, Betty’s (short lived) writing teacher.

Main Characteristic:  Overbearing and steeped in melodrama, he’s just like every creative writing teacher I’ve ever known. However, he takes a liking to Betty, and tries to get her story published.

Most Famous For:  He’s been in just about everything over his career, going back to the 70’s, but he’s probably best known for the character Jack Bristow in Alias.

Ugly Betty Episodes: 2.04 – Grin and Bear It.

Best Moment: After hearing Betty’s fake story about surviving a bear attack, he yells at the rest of the class, “That is exactly what I want! Why can’t the rest of you get attacked by a bear?”
