Bio
Gerald was born a performer. The New Jersey native is a well rounded and experienced in acting, hosting, improvisation, DJing and voice-overs. As far back as anyone can remember Gerald was telling stories or jokes, break dancing, rapping, acting or DJing. In grade school his teachers would ask him to do his President Jimmy Carter impersonation and in high school he dreamed of hosting Jeopardy or of being the anchorman on the local Philly news.
Gerald ended up setting his sights on the Disc Jockey industry and took off like a rocket. In the 1990s he garnered an international reputation as a DJ including being named the American DJ Association's 2004-2005 Night Club DJ of the Year. Gerald pushed the technological edge of the industry; gaining him the attention of companies like Pioneer, American Audio and Technics (Panasonic) who tapped him as a national spokesman and endorsee. In addition to representing these companies Gerald consulted on the design of several top selling DJ products still on the market it today. His innovations in the DJ world led him to be named the "world's first digital turntablist" for creating the first method for DJs to scratch a CD like a vinyl record. In the late 90's Gerald formed a friendship with legendary hip hop icon Jam Master Jay (RIP). Jay asked Gerald to appear in his upcoming instructional DJ DVD. After seeing the final product the executives at Warner Brothers Publications signed Gerald to his own DVD (DJ Styles series: The DJing with CDs) and book deal (The Digital DJ).

Jam Master Jay also influenced Gerald's pursuit of acting when he asked Gerald to audition for "Espia" a pilot for the Showtime Network. Gerald read and landed a role at what was his first acting audition! This proved to be a pivotal moment that changed the direction of Gerald’s career and life. He chose to fully embraced his love of performance and began seriously acting in the mid 1990s. He started in the Philadelphia market creating a solid foundation in dozens of industrial films and commercials. After developing his acting chops on the Philly scene, he decided to make the big leap to LA. He hit Hollywood running and in 3 years has started turning heads.

Gerald's currently developing several of his own projects inclunding a hip travel show and a feature film for his popular and hilarious character "Mr. Bubbles, the cleanest pimp on earth".
When Gerald isn't acting he can usually be found life coaching, tinkering with some piece of new technology or on a basketball court breaking the competition’s ankles.
