I just read on Sheryl Braxton's site that Gerry's acting creditionals included Tootsie, Witness, General Hospital and over 25 commericals. Gerry's daughter was the one giving the imfo in the interview. Is this old news?

I checked imdb.com and couldn't find a Gerry Lancaster anywhere. I tried Gerald as well. I would imagine he was just an extra.

Of course he's an extra ... Mike and Will are the stars, baby!

He was also in an episode of Falcon Crest on TV. Don't know what he played.

There are people in Hollywood who have life-long careers, and money-making ones at that, being extras.

I love Gerry...and if sponsers were smart they would give him his own soap commercial! He would be great and would appear to be honest in what he said.

Apparently he even had one line of dialog in Witness.. Supposedly he had a longer scene, but it had to be cut, but the director liked his performance enough to keep his one line in, and thus let him get his name in the credits.. (this per Gerry on the live feeds).. However, I too am surprised his name in that case was not in IMDB for that movie.. hmm.. There are probably just limits to how many extras IMDB includes for a given film...

I have both Witness and Tootsie on DVD. I already knew about Gerry's appearance in Witness and think I have spotted him in it (non-speaking part and he is unlisted in the film's credits as non-speaking actors normally are). Will have to watch Tootsie this weekend and try to spot him.

The thing is that Tootsie was released in 1982 and Witness in 1985, so to spot Gerry one has to imagine what he looked like 20 and 17 years ago respectively, lol

It would be great if someone could post a photo of Gerry in this thread if you can capture a pic of him in one of the old flicks mentioned above. I'm curious to see what he looked like so many years ago. Thanks in advance.

I saw an episode of Hollywood Showdown the other day with Gerald. He didn't find the box office card.

I think I remember him from The Chair, but I'm not sure.
