About
Intro
Thirty seconds, direct to camera.
Gary grew up outside Madison, Wisconsin, where he was first cast as Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid at fourteen. At the University of Wisconsin–Madison, he studied History and Economics while staying close to performance through drama, dance, and voice coursework.
Chicago added comedy and camera work: writing and improv training at The Second City, plus print and runway work for clients including JCPenney, Kohl's, and Knot Standard. Outside the creative world, Gary built a career in business strategy, working at BCG, helping scale and sell a startup, and later founding RocketMinds, a strategy and venture studio.
He now lives in Miami, where he trains in acting technique and scene study with Ralph Kinnard at Miami Acting Studio, performs stand-up around the city, and works across commercial, screen, and print projects. He is 6′2″, has US and EU work authorization, and is conversational in Italian and French.
Comedy
Stand-up is the training ground: open mics at Villain Theater in Miami, with earlier reps in Chicago and Madison. The hours on stage sharpen timing and presence; both show up on camera.
Modeling
Before acting: print and runway with Rock Agency (Madison) for clients including JCPenney and Kohl's, and independent work in Chicago including Knot Standard and Lurie Children's Hospital.
Sixty seconds of footage says more than any bio.
