Biography: Gary Anthony Sturgis is a New Orleans born actor/writer/director best known for his portrayal of the villain in two of Tyler Perry’s biggest hit films, “Diary of A Mad Black Woman” (as Jamison Jackson) and “Daddy’s Little Girls” (as Joseph Woods). He also co-starred opposite Terrence Howard in “Pride”, as the charming yet sinister pimp/drug dealer Franklin Washington. Recently, he has broken the mold of bad guy to co-star in the comedy “Chicago Pulaski Jones” with Kel Mitchell and Cedric the Entertainer. Also a professional voice artist, Sturgis has voiced network promos for UPN, CBS, PBS and ABC, cartoons and video games (Static Shock, Batman, Scooby Doo and The Cyber Chase, Fairly Odd Parents, Spiderman) and is heard on countless commercials for radio and television. His raspy bass-baritone voice that the women find hard to resist has even been heard on national movie trailers and promotions for; BONES, TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME, THE OTHERS, THE BROTHERS and THE WOOD to name a select few. For another surprise, Gary also produces and writes rap music and has a successful recording under the moniker Illuminati called Fahrenheit, which is still available on iTunes. As a writer/producer, Gary is currently producing some of his feature-length screenplays (he has written more than ten), and has packaged his works into three and four picture deals and commenced to shopping them around town for financing and distribution. We have only scratched the surface of this multi-faceted creative soul. Since Sturgis has been writing for years, the next natural progression was to direct. After directing LEND A HAND, a 90-second short film for the American Black Film Festival (ABFF), Gary realized that directing was yet another feather he could stick in his talented cap. “I see directing as a place of creativity far different than creating a character as an actor. I am drawn to the amount of focus that goes into telling an entire story visually, and how I have to balance creativity with efficiency and time when I direct” he says of his directing experience. Gary will be directing two of his own films, a comedy, THE INHERITANCE and an action drama, LE BON TEMPS ROULER, in the near future as the first two films from his production company, GEMFilmworks. The multi hyphenated talent is already respected as an actor and plans to make an even bigger mark in the entertainment business while he perpetually broadens his horizons. When asked what area of the business he likes best, Gary says simply, “It really doesn’t matter, as long as it’s the business of entertainment”. |
