Gary McDonald Biography

Gary McDonald is one of the most popular and richest Actor who was born on October 30, 1948 in Bondi, New South Wales, Australia.

McDonald was born in Bondi, a beachside Sydney suburb. He was educated at Cranbrook School. During his time at Cranbrook, McDonald developed an interest in acting and, despite family objections, went on to study at the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA), where he obtained a Diploma in Acting in 1967.

It was while working on The Aunty Jack Show in 1973, that McDonald first performed the character for which he became best-known, the gauche and inept TV personality Norman Gunston. Gunston’s first appearance was in a series of brief sketches written by Wendy Skelcher which saw him reporting uncomfortably on a “sex-scandal drought” in the New South Wales city of Wollongong; a drought he eventually breaks by appearing naked on camera.
