	Actors - Robert Gant

Robert Gant (born Robert Gonzalez) on July 13, 1968 in Tampa, Florida) is an American actor. He is sometime credited as Robert J. Gant.

Gant began acting in television commercials and joined the Screen Actors Guild at the age of ten in his home state of Florida. He attended undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania and law school at Georgetown University. While studying law, he never gave up on his true passion, acting, and performed in numerous theatrical productions. It was his career as an attorney that brought him to Los Angeles when he accepted a position with the world's largest law firm; the firm's Los Angeles office was closed soon after, so he decided to focus all of his time on acting. Since 2001, Gant has appeared on television in Showtime's Queer as Folk. Prior to Queer as Folk, he appeared on the WB's Popular and on NBC's Caroline in the City. Gant has made guest appearances on TV programs such as Friends, Veronica's Closet, Becker, Melrose Place
, Ellen, and Providence. He also appeared in the independent films The Contract, Fits and Starts and Marie and Bruce, starring Julianne Moore and Matthew Broderick. In June 2004, Gant, along with actress Cady Huffman (star of Broadway play The Producers), filmed Billy's Dad is a Fudgepacker. The short film is an homage to 1950s educational films. In 2003, Gant received a special civil rights award presented to him in New York's City Hall. Other recipients were Sharon Gless and Gale Harold, also of Queer as Folk, along with Chicago director Rob Marshall, Shirley MacLaine and Steven Daldry. His time in Hollywood is not limited to acting, however. Along with producing partners Chad Allen, and Christopher Racster, Robert has started the film and television production company, mythgarden. They have optioned an exciting slate of initial projects, each with varying degrees of gay-focused content, and are developing a number of other films and television shows.

While he gives time to a number of philanthropic and political causes, Gant's “torch issue” is that of aging in the gay community. He supports such organizations as SAGE (Senior Advocacy for GLBT Elders) and GLEH (Gay and Lesbian Elder Housing). He is also developing a website devoted entirely to gay elders and matters that affect them. Gant currently resides in Los Angeles.
