Gil Gerard's Quotes

[about his close friend and fellow actor, the late Lyle Alzado] Even under the worst circumstances, he exhibited the best of himself. There was not that sense of self-pity. He was a genuinely good guy. When he passed away, there was a space left; and Lyle was a big man, so it was a big space.
