Biography

British born musician, actor, and certified public accountant Gareth Egerton emigrated to the United States in 1975 in search of new opportunities and glory. Egerton's acting career got off to an early start both as a child model and stage performer known for his freckles and fearlessness. Gareth, with the assistance of his younger brother Owen Egerton, formed a popular act that performed in cafetoriums and nursing homes throughout the Friendswood, Texas area. In his teens he produced and performed in several experimental films including a retelling of Macbeth and a bold re-visioning of Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath. But Egerton put aside acting to concentrate on his other passion: accounting.

Despite his success in accounting and technology, Egerton is best known for pounding the eardrums of a generation with his subversive hard-driving rock anthems. Fronting bands like Pup Tent and Brothers Chum, Egerton has rocked the 90s Portland and current Austin music scene with heart wrenching ballads like "Me and Nancy Smoking Crack" and "Judy's Got a Vibrator".

Egerton's passion for acting reignited when he was cast as Bar Stud in Owen Egerton's 2015's Follow. His disturbingly nuanced performance earned him a role in Owen Egerton's Blood Fest as the terrifying, bloodthirsty Yeti. It is rumored that Gareth Egerton is working on an upcoming Owen Egerton feature, completing what some critics refer to as the "Gareth Trilogy" or "Garilogy".
