Richard Gere | 72 years old

Richard Gere began his career professionally at the Provincetown Playhouse in Cape Cod and Seattle Repertory Theatre in 1969. His initial major acting role was in the original London-make of Grease in 1973. He then won the Theatre World Award in 1979 for his role in the Broadway production of Bent. In the mid-1970s, the actor began his Hollywood career with appearances in movies such as The Lords of Flatbush, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and Days of Heaven.

Gere’s popularity gained more momentum after starring in the movie American Gigolo in 1980 and pushed his status in the industry to further stardom with the romantic drama film An Officer and a Gentleman, shown in 1982. Since then, the actor made various movies and a number of television films, with many awards and nominations throughout his career. After his last films in 2017, Gere actively participated in indie films—which can help improve the film, credits to his wide range of acting experience.
