Hi, I'm Gary! I've been a working actor in Hollywood for over 20 years, with credits on shows like 2 Broke Girls, 9-1-1, Scrubs, and many more. For nearly a decade, I've also been teaching improv, and I’m passionate about helping people discover the joy and benefits of improv. I specialize in working with beginners and non-actors. There's nothing more satisfying to me as a teacher than seeing someone step out of their comfort zone and really open up. My lessons are interactive, filled with games—because that’s what improv is all about! It's a fun, engaging way to learn. I’ll work one-on-one with you, even as your scene partner, making sure the experience is tailored to your level and goals. I understand how intimidating improv can be for first-timers, so I ensure a safe, non-judgmental space where you can have fun and grow. When I’m not teaching or performing, you’ll find me with my nose in a book, chilling with my cats, or eating ice cream. Lots of ice cream. Seriously, I cant get enough! I have a B.A. in Theater from the University of Minnesota, but more importantly, I’ve been studying and performing improv on and off for 40 years. My very first acting class was an improv class, so I bring a wealth of experience to my classes. As an introvert, I remember how scary it was to try improv for the first time. That’s why I make sure my classes are welcoming and non-judgemental. With decades of experience in theater, improv, and television, I’m here to help you step out of your comfort zone and have fun! Join me for a funl journey into the world of improv! Together, we’ll explore, laugh, and grow in a safe and supportive space. Let’s unleash your creativity and have a blast—because this is all about fun and discovery!
