Gale Morgan Harold III (born on July 10, 1969 in Decatur, Georgia, United States) is an American actor. He has an older sister and a younger brother. Eschewing publicity, Gale's upbringing is a mystery, aside from his own admission that growing up was a "bizarre Pentecostal" experience. Jack London, David Bowie and J. R. R. Tolkien's Gandalf have often been credited as influences in his younger years.

After graduating from South West Dekalb Highschool in Atlanta, Georgia, Gale attended American University in Washington, D.C. on a soccer scholarship. He began a Liberal Arts degree in romance literature, only to depart after a year and a half following a conflict with his coach. Gale then moved to San Francisco, California, United States to pursue an interest in Photography at the San Francisco Art Institute. He worked a variety of jobs including positions as a mechanic and a construction worker

In 1997, friend Susan Landau, daughter of actor Martin Landau, suggested Gale try acting. He re-located to Los Angeles and began a 3 year period of intensive drama study. At 28, he was accepted into the Actors Conservatory Program with the classical theater company A Noise Within. In his theatrical debut, Gale appeared as "Bunny" in Me and My Friends. In 2003, he starred in Wake, produced by Susan Landau Finch and directed by her husband Henry Leroy Finch. The movie featured a cameo by Martin Landau and the lead part of Kyle Riven was written specifically for Gale.

Queer as Folk

In 2000, Gale landed the controversial role of unapologetic homosexual lothario Brian Kinney, a central character on Showtime's popular gay drama Queer as Folk, a breakthrough performance including the first depictions of male homosexual sex on American television; his performance was as riveting, raw, and unrepentant as his character. The show itself and the character of Brian Kinney elicited quite a great deal of controversy. It was alternately lauded and loathed for its explicit, though somewhat out-of-date—depictions of gay club life. The show found a strong, and surprising, core audience among women of all ages as well as among gay men, and lasted for five seasons, ending in 2005.

After Brian Kinney

Harold had the lead role of Special Agent Graham Kelton in the FOX series Vanished in 2006, but his character was killed off in the seventh episode (following weeks of rumors and a storm of viewer protest on various websites) and appeared only as a corpse in the eighth episode -- in which Harold nominally starred but was actually replaced by a new leading man, Eddie Cibrian. Cibrian received top billing only on the very last episode to be broadcast: the show's ratings plummeted after Harold's departure and the last two installments (in a new Friday night time slot) limped on with half the previous viewership. Corporate spinners attributed the loss of viewership to the so-called "Friday night death slot," but it is useful to note that the show ranked last in that time slot, that it declined further from its first Friday airing to its second and last, and that Fox's replacements (including a rebroadcast of a three year old Jim Carrey movie, Bruce Almighty,) did considerably better on subsequent Fridays.

Harold also guest-starred as Wyatt Earp in two episodes of the HBO series Deadwood and appeared twice on the CBS series The Unit. Alongside childhood idol David Bowie, Gale is an associate producer of the upcoming documentary Scott Walker: 30 Century Man.

Gale Harold returned to the New York stage in Tennessee Williams' play Suddenly Last Summer on November 15, 2006, in the role of Dr Cukrowicz ("Dr Sugar"), the part that Montgomery Clift had taken in Joseph L. Mankiewicz' noted 1959 film (based on the play.) Gale's co-stars in this Roundabout Theatre repertory production, a limited engagement running through January 20, 2007, were Blythe Danner and Carla Gugino.
