Personal Quote:
I thought some of the stories were hyped about people fainting during "127 Hours". Then a producer we were working with on another project called me and said "I went to the movies last night and had quite an experience". It turns out that somebody had passed out. I felt proud at first, and then really guilty. See more »Trivia:
His first professional job was for Rick Baker on Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Gardner appeared in the video as the hobbling zombie whose arm falls off. See more »Contribute to This Page
