As an actor, Gary is credited with over 100 Film, TV, and Commercial appearances.  Although best known for his role as "Campbell" on Burn Notice, he can also be found in everything from major motion pictures to a television resume that includes recent recurring roles on Marvel's Cloak & Dagger, Greenleaf and The Have and Have Nots.

​

Gary just wrapped the Sean Anders/Mark Whalberg comedy Instant Family. Recently, he has appeared in more recent box-office bigs like Spider-Man: Homecoming, The Fate of the Furious, Hidden Figures, The 15:17 to Paris and most recently in Dwayne Johnson's Rampage.

​

Gary has also been a working writer & filmmaker, and having won over 50 awards for his work behind the camera. Deadland won 16 of those, and was released in 2010 nationwide and in five countries. His comedy festival-darlings 29 Reasons to Run and Clones Gone Wild were also big winners, and played at over 75 festivals.  His recently produced feature  drama Meth Head won 14 awards and is now available in all formats.

Gary was born on an Air Force base in Weisbaden Germany, but only spent a year overseas before returning to the U.S. where he was raised in Morris, a small rural town in south Georgia. He loved Baseball, was an All-State Football player, and a 2-time State Basketball Champion. Once he began making short films with his first camera in 1985, he found his true love in front and behind the camera. After graduating high school (from a senior class of only 17 people), he studied at the University of Georgia, Brevard College and Georgia State University before moving to Los Angeles to pursue acting and filmmaking film-time.

 

Although he has shot and lived all over the U.S., Gary will always consider Georgia "Home," where he credits his passion and positive work ethic to his family and the people who surrounded him as he grew up.  Now a father, he is dedicated to carrying on that tradition of positivity with his two boys.

 

Gary's love for film festivals led him to start one of his own, along with fellow actor/writer Chad Mathews, and “The Hill Country Film Festival” is now in it’s 10th year, and boasts some of the best indie film in the country. For more, please visit www.HillCountryFF.com
