Scottish born, Gerard spent two years in Montreal before his parents divorced and he returned with his mother and two older siblings to Scotland.

He played a street urchin in the Scottish Youth Theatre production of “Oliver!,” but this was a mere prelude to the forthcoming drama that would be Gerard’s “wandering” years.
On paper, Gerard thrived: he served as president of the law society, excelled with top-notch grades, and graduated with an honor’s degree. And yet, Gerard knew this was not where he belonged.

Though he knew acting stirred a passion within him, Gerard opted for a more realistic and normal career path – nothing short of law school at Glasgow University.

With Gerard Butler – who would finally come into his own as King Leonidas in the 2007 epic “300″ – the word destiny is not too far off when describing his winding life and times. Unlike others who smoothly graduated from one point to another to emerge as in-demand talents, Gerard blazed a unique, personal course that would lead him to the forefront of emerging celebrities.

He would continue this lifestyle for two long years. It was as an audience member seeing “Trainspotting” on stage in Edinburgh that the desire to pursue the long dormant passion of acting returned.

But the Hollywood of the early 1990s was not yet ripe for Gerard, and following a stop off in Canada to visit with his cancer-stricken father one last time, Gerard returned to Scotland to practice law in Edinburgh.

Assuming roles on stage in “Coriolanus” and “Trainspotting” paid off for Gerard when he made the transition to film in 1997, including a role in the 007 movie “Tomorrow Never Dies.” British film work continued until Wes Craven directed Gerard in the lead role as Dracula in “Dracula 2000.” The film’s failure was just a string of setbacks for Gerard – “Harrison’s Flowers,” “Reign of Fire” and “Timeline” followed.
