The LA Daily News has posted an article profiling Gerry, in which his former acting career was mentioned. He did some theater and commercials, and supposedly played a detective in the Harrison Ford movie "Witness." I happen to own that on DVD, so played it tonight attempting to locate him. If he did appear in that, he's uncredited. However, a man that could be Gerry (non-speaking part and is only onscreen for a few seconds) appears 28 min. 17 sec. into the film. This is for anyone curious enough to check this out for themselves.

Isn't it ironic that with all the hardbodies and beautiful faces in the house, Gerry is the one emerging with legitimate acting credentials?

I read the article Amac. Thanks for the link. It made me GAG to see that. I hate to say this but I just can't stand Gerry. What is so magical that landed him on BB3? I wonder if I am the only one that would like to see him GONE. I would rather watch Josh over him. I think he is more cunning than any of them or pretty close. Are you watching him outside? He needs to put some clothes on. He makes me want to vomit. **sigh** I feel better. LOL...

Gerry is pompous! Does he think he is Jesse Ventura with his shaved head? He needs to focus on dropping his body fat content, instead of playing the teacher wise man role. He sucks at that.

I agree. Gerry is so untrustworthy. Danielle had it right he says what he thinks he wants you to hear.

Loppes, say he loses 25-30 pounds then what? Nobody in the house is trustworthy. Its built into the game.

Niceguy,
He'd still suck, only 25-30 pounds less, I guess.
I'm not saying he's untrustworthy because of his size. I just don't think he should win.
It's interesting the show finds good looking women in their 40s as contestants, whereby, the men in that age group have been either comical or out of shape.

I checked out IMDB for any information I could find on Gerry and I could not find any. I looked under the movie "Witness" and check using his last name with only a G and with Gerry and was still unable to find anything for him. I guess he hasnt had any major (speaking) parts. I have to say that this really disappoints me about him.
Well really this is the most disappoint group yet.

Loppes, I was a big fan of Gerry at first, and still feels he has some good qualities to play the game. My biggest problem with him now is the way he seems to be telling people what they want to hear.

I do like the way he has made it clear anyone can bring an issue to him and he seems to not take offense, as well as his willingness to talk about things other than sex, cards, and voting.

I have mixed emotions about the actor thing in getting into the game. I think it's very possible for an actor to want to be in the game to play it, and not for the sole purpose of launching or furthering a career. We've certainly see non-actors do this game only to "be discovered".

I'll take an actor who wants to play over a non-actor who's there only for face time.

Lancecross,
You make some valid points. It's as you said, "telling people what they want to hear", which causes me to think he is untrustworthy.

I think if he backs off the, Listen to me I'm the wise older adult, it will help him. They aren't school children who need an education in there.
This could hurt him.
