Gary Weeks个人资料

Gary was born on an Air Force base in Weisbaden Germany, but only spent a year overseas before returning to the U.S. where he was raised in Morris, a small rural town in south Georgia. He was an All-State Football player, a 2-time State Basketball Champion, and although he loved his third sport, was a mediocre varsity baseball player. He began making short films when he got his first camera in 1985, and found a love both in front and behind the camera. After graduating high school (from a senior class of only 17 people), he studied at the University of Georgia and Georgia State University before moving to Los Angeles where he began to work steadily as an actor. Although he has shot and lived all over the U.S., he will always consider Georgia "Home," where he credits his passion and positive work ethic to his family and the people who surrounded him as he grew up.

As an actor, Gary is credited with over 70 Film, TV, and Commercial appearances, including recent features Identity Thief (2013),Devil's Knot (2013), and Zombie Apocalypse (2011) (TV),as well as notable performances in TV's "Burn Notice" (2007),"Parks and Recreation" (2009), "The Office" (2005), and "Monk" (2002).

Gary has also spent time on the other side of the camera. He has written over 15 feature screenplays, produced many of them, and has won over 35 awards for his work. His recent feature Deadland (2009) won 16 of those, and was released in 2010 nationwide and in five countries. His comedy festival-darlings 29 Reasons to Run (2006) and Clones Gone Wild (2009) were also big winners and played at over 75 festivals. He recently produced the feature drama Meth Head (2013).

His love for film festivals led him to start one of his own, along with fellow actor/writer Chad Mathews, and "The Hill Country Film Festival" is now in it's 4th year, and boasts some of the best indie film in the country.
