Early life, family, educational background

American actor Donald Richard Gibb was born on 4 August 1954 in New York City, USA. He was raised in Sherman Oaks, California, where he attended Notre Dame High School.

After matriculating from high school, he received a basketball scholarship and attended the University of New Mexico, where he became a member of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He transferred to the University of San Diego, where he played on the basketball and football teams. For a short period of time he played for the San Diego Chargers, but suffered a severe injury in a car accident, following which he was no longer able to play sports, so he turned to acting.

Career

Film

Donald played Frederick Aloysius “Ogre” Palowaski in 1984’s “Revenge of the Nerds”, and reprised his role in “Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise” in 1987, and in “Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love,” which was made in 1994 for television. His character is known for bullying nerds by throwing them off fraternity buildings, entering into belching contests, and chugging beer out of a trophy. The comedy was directed by Jeff Kanew and starred Anthony Edwards and Robert Carradine, and follows a group of nerds attending the fictional Adams College. The group tries to end the abuse they receive from the Alpha Betas – the jock fraternity – and Pi Delta Pi – Alpha Beta’s sister sorority.

Donald joined Andrew Cassese (another cast member) and Robert Carradine in an interview at the 2018 Niagara Falls Comic-Con.

In 1986 he played Ripper, a Wildman tennis player in “Jocks,” and the following year appeared as Graceless Pirate in “Amazon Women on the Moon.”

He portrayed Ray Jackson in “Bloodsport” in 1988, starring alongside Jean-Claude Van Damme as a loud martial arts fighter, also starring Leah Ayres and Bolo Yeung and directed by Newt Arnold. The movie is loosely based on accusations by Frank Dux, a martial artist, and did well at the box office – grossing $50 million from a $2 million budget.

Donald Gibb

The film was one of Jean-Claude Van Damme’s first lead roles, and he had the opportunity to showcase his athletic skills. Donald reprised his role in the 1996 sequel “Bloodsport II: The Next Kumite” – Jean-Claude Van Damme chose not to return.

In 2008 he played a minor role in “Hancock” as a convict, which starred Will Smith, and is the last film Donald has appeared in to date.

Television

From 1984 to 1991, he played a linebacker Leslie Dr. Death Krunchner in “1st & Ten.” The sitcom aired on HBO from December 1984 to January 1991, and regularly featured Reid Shelton and Delta Burke.

It was one of the first series as a sitcom to take advantage of occasionally including scenes containing nudity and cursing. The series follows the California Bulls, a fictional football team, both on and off-field. Throughout the series, the team changed owners somewhat regularly. Donald was in 80 episodes, meaning he was one of few cast members who appeared throughout the seven-years the series aired.

In 1992 he portrayed an illiterate biker named Scab in “Stand By Your Man”. The series co-starred Rosie O’Donnell and Melissa Gilbert on Fox, with Donald only appearing in seven episodes.

The show was created by Neil Thompson and Nancy Steen, who also wrote a couple of episodes. It was Melissa Gilbert’s first time on television in nine years following the completion of “Little House on the Prairie”, and the first project in which Rosie O’Donnell was cast as a lead character. The series was adapted from “Birds of a Feather,” a popular British sitcom, and included narration by Joe Cipriano, the chief announcer at Fox network, in a deadpan comical style.The story was about two sisters, Lorraine Popowski (Rosie O’Donnell) and Rochelle Dunphy (Melissa Gilbert) – Lorraine is insensitive and loud, and Rochelle is earthy.

They moved in together to offer one another support – both emotional and moral – after their husbands were arrested and imprisoned for robbery.

Over the years, Donald has appeared in several series – he played Deke Billings in “The A-Team” in 1983, Herman the German in “MacGyver” in 1991, Hog Adams Cletus in “Renegade” in 1992-1993, Worm in “The Young and the Restless”, and more.

Video Games

In 1995 Donald voiced a Giant in “What’s My Story”, and in 1997 Floyd the Bounder, a minor character in “Zork: Grand Inquisitor.”
