Gregory Neale Harrison (born May 31, 1950) is an American actor. He is known for his role as Chandler in the 1987 cult favorite North Shore and as Dr. George Alonzo "Gonzo" Gates, the young surgeon of Dr. Trapper John MacIntyre (played by Pernell Roberts) on the CBS series Trapper John, M.D. (1979-86). He recently played Joe O'Toole, father of Oliver O'Toole on the Hallmark Channel movies Signed, Sealed and Delivered. (2016)
Harrison was born in Avalon, California, in 1950, the son of Ed, a ship's captain and poet.
Harrison served for two years in the United States Army during the Vietnam War era as a medic.
He was the title character on the 1977-78 science fiction series Logan's Run, after which he played the role of Levi Zendt on the 1978 NBC miniseries Centennial.
In 1979, after years of being a relatively unknown actor, Harrison finally won the role of surgeon, Dr. George "Gonzo" Gates on Trapper John, M.D., opposite Pernell Roberts, the popular medical drama spun off from M*A*S*H. Harrison had previously guest starred on an episode of M*A*S*H, the year after Wayne Rogers departed from the role of Trapper John on that series. Harrison remained as Gonzo on Trapper John until the middle of the show's seventh season, when he decided to leave for other ventures. The series continued for several more episodes without Harrison, but concluded its run at the end of the 1985-86 season. Harrison, who'd been a fan of Roberts's, since he watched Bonanza, from childhood, as he envisioned his future TV chief of surgeon's character, as the eldest son of the Cartwright Family, who happily left his role on the show, after his sixth year. After he left the show, Harrison remained close friends with Roberts, until he lost him on January 24, 2010, to pancreatic cancer.
