Gerry trained for the theatre at The Brendan Smith Theatre Academy and at the College of Music in Dublin in the 1980’s where drama students took the London Guildhall Exams in Performance. Having pursued other careers in the interim, Gerry returned to acting in 2016. Since then, he has appeared in plays at Smock Alley, The Sean O’Casey Theatre, The Lexicon and Whale Theatre.
On returning to acting, Gerry has concentrated on screen work with over sixty short film credits to his name. He can be seen in Say Nothing on Disney+, The Troubles – A Dublin Story on Amazon Prime, Dublin Crust on Amazon Prime, The Irish Mob on Apple TV and as the Bishop of London in Vikings: Valhalla on Netflix.
Gerry does a lot of voiceover work, including loop group Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR) for the film and TV industry.
Gerry believes the threat of artificial intelligence to jobs in the voiceover sector needs to be addressed along with the rights and remumeration of Irish based actors working in TV and film productions where, as stakeholders, they should enjoy the same conditions as international colleagues wherever the best practices exist.
