Gary Grubbs
Gary Grubbs (born Jon Gary Grubbs, November 14, 1949, in Amory, Mississippi) is an American character actor who moved to Prentiss as an infant and grew up there. He attended the University of Southern Mississippi, where he majored in business and met his future wife Glenda (Miss Mississippi 1972). In 1977 the couple relocated to Los Angeles initially for a writing career, but Grubbs transitioned to acting after landing his first role in For the Love of Benji (1977), followed by Dead Man's Curve: The Jan and Dean Story (1978). Over his nearly five-decade career he has accumulated over 180 credits, frequently portraying attorneys, sheriffs, military officers, and other authority figures, and he now splits his time between Mississippi and Los Angeles. His most notable film credits include attorney Al Oser in JFK (1991, directed by Oliver Stone), Jim Bob in Honkytonk Man (1982, directed by Clint Eastwood), a role in Silkwood (1983, directed by Mike Nichols), Phil Beasley in Gone Fishin' (1997), Timothy McReady in Double Take (2001), Billy Ray in Ray (2004), Coach Ralph Miller in Glory Road (2006), a Police Lieutenant in Déjà Vu (2006), Chief of Police in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009, with Jeffrey Wright), Sheriff in In the Electric Mist (2009, with Matthew McConaughey), Bob Gibbs in Django Unchained (2012, directed by Quentin Tarantino, uncredited), a role in Battleship (2012), Dr. Kemp Clark in Parkland (2013, with James Franco), DEA Agent Lou Cantrell in Sabotage (2014, with Gerard Butler), Dennis in Left Behind (2014), FBI Agent Owens in Concussion (2015, with Will Smith), Prosecutor in Free State of Jones (2016, with Mads Mikkelsen), Senator Everett Dirksen in LBJ (2016), and Joe Carter in God Bless the Broken Road (2018). On television he is best known as Captain Steven Wiecek in For Love and Honor (1983–1984), Harlin Polk in Will & Grace (1998–1999), and Mr. Dummont in Common Law (2012), with additional credits in ER, NCIS (2003), Angel (2001–2004, 4 episodes), The O.C. (2003), Treme (2010), Glee (2009), Criminal Minds (2012), Scream Queens (2015), and Prison Break (2006).
