One of Hollywood's most accomplished veteran actors, Gerald McRaney most recently starred on HBO's award-winning series "Deadwood," and CBS's "Jericho," which was nominated for Best Network Television Series. Prior to that, Gerald spent eight years as the irrepressible, yet immensely likable private investigator Rick Simon on "Simon and Simon," after which he went on to become the nation's favorite U.S. Marine in "Major Dad."
Gerald has managed to avoid the pitfalls of typecasting by paying his dues as a working actor in a myriad of stage productions, TV shows and motion pictures. He is not your run-of-the-mill male lead. Over the years, he has excelled in a wide array of characters from farmer to hit man, from vigilante to Vietnam veteran, from old west gunfighter to a southern corrupt sheriff. He has the uncanny ability to realistically assume the persona of the characters he plays. "I like to mix it up and play roles that go totally against type," he explains.
A measure of his popularity: both "Simon and Simon" and "Major Dad" continue to be aired in reruns to this day.
