Who is actor Gale Harold from “Grey’s Anatomy”?
Born Gale Morgan Harold III on the 10th of June 1969, in Decatur, Georgia USA, Gale is a 48-year-old Caucasian actor and producer, perhaps best known for appearing in the main male role in 83 episodes of “Queer as Folk”. He has had a number of other roles in various films and TV shows, throughout his career in the often lucrative acting profession since 2000.
Early Life and Education
Raised in the said part of Atlanta, the middle child with a younger brother and an older sister, Harold had an engineer father and a real-estate agent mother, both of whom were also devout Pentecostals, which is a renewal movement of Protestant Christianity. As such, Gale grew up in a strict religious environment, and was made to regularly attend church by his parents. However, he left the church on his own accord when he was 15-years-old. As per his education, he first attended South West Dekalb High School, and after that The Lovett School. At some point before matriculation, he received a soccer scholarship, and went on to further his education at the American University in Washington D.C., from where he graduated with a Liberal Arts degree in romance literature. Later on, he also studied photography at the San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, California.

1 | Criticism is a surreal state, like a good drug gone bad. When it's bad you wish it would stop, and when it's good, you can't get enough. |
2 | Be yourself. Kiss well and passionately, and move like you mean it. |
3 | Men have been watching women make love to each other in magazines and films, forever. If you're sexually attracted to men, it stands to reason that you might like to see two men in a sexual situation. It's a real baseline dynamic! And it changes the power struggle, because women never got to see that. That's a bizarre sociological result of the show [Queer as Folk (2000)]. |
4 | I'm more interested in the quality of the work than its medium. |
5 | If anyone can crack the publicity nut and figure out how to not come across hammy and contrived, I'd love to talk to them. |
6 | I mean, let's face it, it's 2000 and people are beginning to wake up on some level. I think that, as I was saying earlier, there's just no denying the impact that showing people the truth can have. It allows people to understand themselves, and when you understand yourself you can understand the people around you. And then you can begin to let go of all the bullshit that leads into things like world wars, racism, stereotypes, and bigotry. |
7 | You are preparing yourself for a scene, and the most important thing is to remain emotionally available and remain in the moment with your scene partner. You don't want to let your own self-consciousness block the flow of creativity that's coming out so that you can act and react, and play what the scene is all about. |
8 | I think it's good that men are being objectified because since forever women have been objectified. We're flipping the coin because things have been lopsided on TV and film for so long. Another good point to the show is that it portrays men's sensuality. They're not just all about sex and only sex. |
9 | You have to like your character, because if you don't, no one else will either. |
