Шаблон:Infobox person Bruce Gray (September 7, 1936 – December 13, 2017[1]) was a Canadian actor, known for multiple roles in films and television shows for over 5 decades.
Early years
Gray was born in Puerto Rico and lived in Toronto after 1949. He graduated from Humberside Collegiate and from the University of Toronto with a Master's in Psychology.[2] While at the University of Toronto, he was an active member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity.
Acting career
Following a small role in the 1966 film Adulterous Affair, Gray worked steadily from 1978 onwards, appearing in both Canadian and American-based film and television productions.
He may be best known to Canadian audiences for his four seasons as investment banker Adam Cunningham on the Global series Traders (1996-2000). He also gained attention as the father of the groom in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the recurring role of Judge J.E. Reilly on the television serial Passions and the ghost of Joe's father on the television show Medium.[3]
Gray appeared in a number of science fiction themed productions.[4] He portrayed Sky Marshall Dienes in the movie version of Starship Troopers, an interrogator of Captain John Sheridan on Babylon 5, Vulcan philosopher Surak on Star Trek: Enterprise. He appeared several times on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine as Admiral Chekote.
He appeared on a number of soap operas and serials. Two important roles were that of Wyatt Coles on All My Children (playing the husband in a child-abusing couple) and on The Edge of Night (on which he played Owen Madison, the husband of Kim Hunter).
He also had a guest-starring role on the cable television series Queer as Folk, playing gay millionaire George Schickel.
Gray was the face of the leader of a fictitious anti-Amsterdam organization in a print and internet advertising campaign for Amstel beer.
Death
Gray died of cancer on December 13, 2017, at the age of 81.[5]
