Through hard work and consistency, Gary has landed principal and supporting roles in short and independent films such as Ambivalence, Assistant Motives (Paula Jai Parker), Products of the American Ghetto (Robin Givens), BAIT (season 1), Besties (Netflix) and currently starring in the hit LGBT web series, About Him. 2017 will be an even bigger year with the releases of the feature film, The Other Side, where Gary will play the lead of an entertainment lawyer and Murder Chose Me, a new tv show coming to the ID channel.
