Having played numerous roles onstage, often portraying biblical characters, Garry made his film debut as Rabbi Meir in Indescribable (ThornCrown Project, 2013). Soon after he was cast in the title role in Polycarp (Henline Productions, 2015), for which he won the award for Best Actor at the International Christian Film Festival.

He showed his versatility and aptitude for comedy in My Grandpa Detective (MovieMakers, 2016), for which he was again nominated for Best Actor (ICFF 2016). He returned to a historical period role as the Magi Melchior in the biblical drama Chasing the Star (CDI, 2017), following it up with a turn as Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in the TV series Legends & Lies: The Civil War (2017). He has continued to work in several independent features and short films, including a strong supporting role in the recently released The Challenger Disaster (2019).

Garry has a growing reputation in the industry for his professionalism, range of abilities, and the genuineness of his characterizations.

Having played a rabbi and an ancient Church Father, Garry is a minister in real life as well. The multi-talented actor is also a musician, speaker, educator, and writer. He is also a scholar, holding the Ph.D. from a major Protestant seminary. An Oklahoma native, Garry lives in Texas with his wife Linda.
