Early careeredit
Perez began his career doing off-broadway theater at INTAR, where he was cast in Luis Santeiro's OUR LADY OF THE TORTILLA, directed by Max Ferra. Because Max liked Gary, he gave him the keys to INTAR's other space, INTAR 2,[1] located on 52nd St in NYC. Intar 2 would later become the original home of Latino Actors Base[2][3][4] founded by Perez, John Ortiz, David Deblinger, and Paul Calderon. Latino Actors Base became known as LAByrinth Theater Company.[5]
Gary then moved on to work recurring roles on acclaimed shows such as The Sopranos[12] as FBI Agent Marquez[13] and on another HBO hit OZ, as the head of the parole board, Luis Ruiz.[14]
Gary has aimed much of his career toward working in front of the camera, doing the film Illegal Tender[31] and a lead role opposite friend and long-time LAB member Florencia Lozano in Life After You.[32]
