Peter Gerety Biography
Home > Actors > G > Gerety, Peter > Biography
A burly, thickset and occasionally scruffy character actor with a domineering and imposing presence, Peter Gerety often accepted roles as ordinary working-class stiffs, judges or inner-city law officers. A performer with equal footing in film and on the stage, Gerety took his premier onscreen bow during the early 1980s but first began drawing substantial attention over a decade later. Gerety remains best known for his multiseason portrayal of Detective Stuart Gharty on the cop drama Homicide: Life on the Street (1993-1999); big screen projects include Sleepers (1996), K-PAX (2001), Syriana (2005), Charlie Wilson's War (2007) and Leatherheads (2008).
