Gale HaroldGale Harold, born as Gale Morgan Harold III on July 10, 1969, in Decatur, Georgia, is an American actor who claims to have grown up in a "bizarre Pentecostal" home, and credits J R R Tolkien’s fictional wizard character, Gandalf, as one of his strongest adolescent influences.
While he keeps most of his personal life private, Gale has let it be known that he attended the American University in Washington, D.C., on a soccer scholarship. There he began a liberal arts degree in romance literature, but ended up quitting after a year and a half due to strong, irreconcilable differences of opinion between himself and his soccer coach.
He then decided to move to San Francisco, California to continue studying photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. But he became dissatisfied with that too and ended up quitting to work a variety of jobs including positions as a mechanic, carpenter, and a construction worker.
In 1997 friend Susan Landau, daughter of actor Martin Landau, suggested he try stage acting. Gale took this suggestion to heart, re-located to Los Angeles, and studied drama for three years.
When he was twenty-eight he made his theatrical debut with the classical theater company A Noise Within where he appeared as the character Bunny in Me and My Friends.
In 2000 Gale landed the role of controversial character in the gay and lesbian community, Brian Kinney, in the popular yet controversial Showtime drama, Queer as Folk. The next year he clarified his sexual orientation in an interview with MetroSource magazine where he said, "I’m straight. And the reason I haven't talked about it is because of the show [Queer as Folk] and the way they were promoting it." Queer as Folk ran for five seasons and ended in August of 2005.
In 2004 Gale starred in the drama Wake, produced by his friend Susan Landau Finch and directed by her husband, Henry Leroy Finch. The movie also had a cameo by Susan’s father, Martin Landau.
In 2006 Gale landed the role of Special Agent Graham Kelton in the new FOX series Vanished. But his character was quickly killed off. The same year he guest-starred for several episodes as Wyatt Earp in the HBO series Deadwood. In 2006 he also made two appearances on the CBS action-drama The Unit, acting as Rory "The Missile" Radio Station Manager in the episodes "Dedication" and "Unannounced."
In October of 2006 he appeared in Tennessee Williams’s play Suddenly Last Summer in New York City, with Blythe Danner and Carla Gugino. Gale is the associate producer of the documentary film Scott Walker: 30 Century Man that premiered at the London Film Festival on October 31, 2006. The film will be on general distribution in early 2007. Gale currently lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. YUDDY |
