After completing his degree in English Literature and graduating with honors from C.W. Post College, Gary Swanson put aside a career as a professional high diver on The Atlantic City Steel Pier and began working immediately as Greg Mercer on NBC Daytime Soap Opera, "Somerset" in New York City. While starring in the popular daytime drama, he met with the famed acting teacher and father of The Method, Lee Strasberg. Swanson studied with Strasberg both privately and at The Actors Studio after auditioning and becoming one of the very few lifetime members accepted into this elite acting company. Under Strasberg's tutelage, Swanson became one of the highest rated actors on television. Swanson continued his work with Strasberg for eight years while building his career as a working actor in New York and Los Angeles. His movie career kicked off in 1974, and since then he has starred in 15 feature films. Read more on iMDB
