Morning Man Classic: Gregory Harrison!
Hard to believe Gregory Harrison will be 60 years old this year!
He’ll always be the adorablw Gonzo Gates from Trapper John MD to me, the young and hunky doc who lived in a mobile home parked on hospital grounds.
That role and the sexy stripper part in 1981′s For Ladies Only made him a favorite with women and gay men in the 1980s. He spoofed that role in the 1986 miniseries Fresno where his character appeared shirtless at every opportunity. He was also regular in the final season Falcon Crest and in 1996, he starred opposite Eric Roberts in It’s My Party, a film based on the true events of a man diagnosed with AIDS who planned a two-day party to say goodbye to his friends and family and then took his own life with pills.
He had a few short-lived post-Trapper series – Family Man and Safe Harbor - but had his greatest success on the Broadway stage in revivals of Follies and Chicago and starred in the original Tony nominated musical Steel Pier.
But he is still busy in television with a recurring role on the CW’s One Tree Hill.

Greg,
I enjoy your morning men and was hoping that I could make a recommendation. Dan Payne is a really gorgeous, hunk of man. I made sure that I searched your site first to ensure you already didn’t give him the honor. In early 2009 you mentioned his name as part of your “Mulligans” piece.
Seriously, I know he isn’t a huge actor, but he’s a stud of a man and worthy of a morning man honor.

Uh, you forgot his greatest role ever as surfer Chandler in North Shore. I watched that movie constantly growing up! He still looks great for 60 BTW.
