Andy Gates

Bio

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to see my acting work. I have a long time interest in the genre of horror films.

As an actor I have always wanted to center my career in horror films. I have looked at recent horror release on Netflix, Imdb Pro, Fangoria, Rue Morgue, Dark Delicacies and other sources and have gone about trying to meet as many writer/producer/directors in the field as possible. As it turns out I am a very funny, warm guy with “boy next door” and “All-American” looks. I am not frightening looking, but I believe there is a place for me in horror films, perhaps as the “boy next door” who gets slaughtered, or the “All-American” guy who is a serial killer.

In late 2008 I worked on a horror film called ‘Lost Soul’ playing the supporting role to the lead, and earlier this year I played the lead in a trailer for a horror script that is being shopped around called ‘Burn’. I have also completed a lead role in a horror short called ‘Theodore’. I have almost twenty years of training and experience in the theater and film. I am a resourceful and professional actor. In addition I have a sci fi film coming out this year with Lance Henrickson, Dave Vescio, Brian Krause, Art Bell and John Savage called Gemini Rising and am busy in pre production on a full length feature film I am starring in and co producing called LOST CANYON ROAD

With all that said, I am reaching out to the horror architects of today both here in LA and beyond, and proclaiming my devotion and enthusiasm for the genre.

As an aside my three favorite films are ‘The Exorcist’, ‘The Shining’ and ‘Jacob’s Ladder’. I am on a mission to act in the most frightening films possible, and will end up a proud man if my career turns out anything close to resembling Brad Dourif’s.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this,
With respect and sincerity,
Andy Gates (213) 618-2026 (direct)
