Biografie

Gary Grubbs (born Jon Gary Grubbs, November 14, 1949, in Amory, Mississippi) is an American character actor who moved to Prentiss as an infant and grew up there. He attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where he majored in business and met his future wife Glenda (Miss Mississippi 1972). In 1977 the couple relocated to Los Angeles initially for a writing career, but Grubbs transitioned to acting after landing his first role in For the Love of Benji (1977), followed by Dead Man's Curve: The Jan and Dean Story (1978). Over his nearly five-decade career he has accumulated over 180 credits, frequently portraying attorneys, sheriffs, military officers, and other authority figures, and he now splits his time between Mississippi and Los Angeles.

On television he is best known as Captain Steven Wiecek in For Love and Honor (1983–1984), Harlin Polk in Will & Grace (1998–1999), and Mr. Dummont in Common Law (2012), with additional credits in ER, NCIS (2003), Angel (2001–2004, 4 episodes), The O.C.
