How Did Her Ex-Husband Get Into Acting?
Her ex-husband Gerald was born in Collins, Mississippi, to his father Clyde, a contractor and realtor, and mother Edna.
Because of his father's job, the family moved around the state a lot.
Gerald played football while at junior high school but had a bad knee injury, which he was out for a season.
Since his father was in construction, he went to help his father in the drama club by building sets for them.
They put him in one of their plays, and he fell in love with acting and thought he could do it.
According to Gerald, he knew he wanted to be an actor since age 14.
He enrolled at the University of Mississippi as a drama major but dropped out a year later, after which he worked in Louisiana oil fields.
He worked both onshore and offshore rigs. He worked there as a mud logger.
He worked in oil fields for half a year and another half of the year in a repertory company in New Orleans.
Gerald is best known for his long-term gig Simon & Simon, where he played the role of Rick Simon.
But how did he end up doing Simon & Simon? According to Gerald, he was there for one of the two leads in Philip DeGuere's pilot, but they decided to go with the other guy instead.
DeGuere then created Simon &Simon, and they had already hired Jameson Parker and were searching for another lead character. They didn't find anyone who could fit in, going through everyone else in Hollywood and New York.
Finally, they approached Gerald and asked him if he would come over and read with Jameson, which he did.
In less than a week, he was doing the pilot. He did the pilot for eight seasons. After Simon & Simon, he did Major Dad directly.
One of the reasons Gerald wanted to do Major Dad was that he had a family who were career military.
He knew many people who served in Vietnam who were ordinary people with extraordinary jobs to do, which they did, and Gerald wanted to represent that on television.
He starred in several films and television shows. He won a Primetime Emmy Award for his role as Dr. Nathan Katowski in the NBC series This is Us.
