In 1997, friend Susan Landau, daughter of actor Martin Landau, suggested Gale Harold
try acting. Gale Harold relocated to Los Angeles and began a 3-year period of intensive

the classical theater company A Noise Within.
In Gale Harold theatrical debut, Harold appeared as "Bunny" in Me and My Friends.
In 2003, he starred in Wake, produced by Susan Landau Finch and directed by her husband

In 2000, Gale Harold landed the controversial role of unapologetic homosexual Brian Kinney,
a central character on Showtime's popular gay drama Queer as Folk, a breakthrough performance
that included the first depictions of male homosexual sex on American television.
Brian Kinney's character, as well as the show itself, elicited quite a great deal of controversy.
It was alternately lauded and criticized for its explicit depictions of gay club life.
The show ran for five successful seasons, ending in 2005.
Gale Harold had the lead role of Special Agent Graham Kelton in the short lived FOX series
Vanished in 2006, but his character was killed off in the seventh episode and appeared only
as a corpse in the eighth episode -- in which Gale Harold nominally starred but was actually
replaced by a new leading man, Eddie Cibrian.
Cibrian received top billing only on the very last episode to be broadcast. The show's ratings
plummeted after Gale Harold 's character's death, and the last two episodes in a new timeslot
on Friday night at 8 p.m. Eastern time limped on with half the previous viewership. Although the
loss of viewership has also been attributed to the so-called "Friday night death slot,"
it is useful to note that the show also ranked last in its time slot, that it declined further
from its first Friday airing to its second, and that Fox's replacements in the slot including
a rebroadcast of a three year old Jim Carrey movie Bruce Almighty did considerably better.
