Gerard will star as FINTY alongside Anthony Boyle and Jessica Reynolds in Michael Magee’s forthcoming series for Channel 4, CLOSE TO HOME.

Gerard played the leading role of Robert Caligari in THE BOY WHO KICKED PIGS with Bruiser Theatre Company (dir. Lisa May), to rave reviews —

“Gerard Headley is magnetic, bringing touching depth to a role that could easily have been one-dimensional.”

He has just wrapped on the short film HUMAN TUPPERWARE and has also completed filming on FRIED, a Screen Ireland short, opposite Rachel Galvo. In theatre, Gerard returned to work with Brú Theatre for their production of PÁDRAICÍN as part of the Galway International Arts Festival.

Gerard trained at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds.

Gerard has just completed two international tours: SPECKY CLARK, a heavily scripted physical theatre show by Irish theatre maker Oona Doherty; and his second show, MOSH, by Irish theatre maker Rachel Ní Bhraonáin. He also performed in EUGENE ONEGIN with Northern Ireland Opera.
