About
30-second actor intro
Gary grew up outside Madison, Wisconsin, where he was first cast as Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid at fourteen. That early stage work led into drama, dance, and voice coursework at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where he studied History and Economics while continuing to build the performance muscles that now shape his screen work.
In Chicago, he added comedy and camera experience through writing and improv training at The Second City, open mics, and print and runway work for clients including JCPenney, Kohl's, Knot Standard, and Lurie Children's Hospital. Those years gave him a broader performance base: stage timing, camera awareness, physical presence, and comfort in front of a room.
Gary 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 also works as a local hire in New York. Outside the creative world, he built a career in business strategy, including BCG, scaling and selling a startup, and founding RocketMinds venture studio. That background gives him a lived-in read for founders, executives, operators, attorneys, and polished authority roles.
He is 6′2″ and 185 lbs, 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.
Business
The boardrooms were real: strategy consulting, a company built and sold, a venture studio. When he plays founders, executives, or attorneys, it's recall, not research.
Sixty seconds of footage says more than any bio.
