Bartholomew Burcham

Bartholomew Burcham, not exactly a household name but definitely a familiar face if you’re a fan of sci-fi or network dramas, has managed to carve out this weirdly fascinating niche for himself in TV and film. You might’ve caught him in “Star Trek: Section 31” (slated for 2025, so yeah, the hype’s real for that one). That show’s supposed to dive into the shadier side of Starfleet, all cloak-and-dagger, moral grey zones, and the kind of political maneuvering that would make even the Romulans sweat. Burcham’s rumored to play a character who isn’t just some background extra, either—think more like a wildcard, someone who keeps you guessing if he’s a friend or about to stab you in the back. Flip back to 2017 and you’d find him in “The Gifted,” that Marvel-adjacent series about mutants trying to survive in a world that absolutely wants nothing to do with them. Burcham’s role wasn’t front and center, but he brought that vibe where you’re like, “Wait, who is this guy and why do I kinda trust him?” He’s got this way of making even minor characters stick in your brain. Don’t forget “CSI: Cyber” from 2015. Remember when every crime show needed a tech spinoff? Burcham’s character was entangled in all the digital mess—think hackers, stolen identities, that sort of chaos. He fits right into roles where the line between good and bad blurs, and honestly, he’s got that everyman look that lets him disappear into parts but still make an impact. Not a leading man, maybe, but definitely someone you notice.
