Gerold Oliver: actor

When Smyrna native Gerold Oliver takes the stage, he has a way of winning over audiences. He's currently playing the role of Orlando in the Nashville Shakespeare Festival's production of As You Like It — which features plenty of music and Gerold on guitar. And soon, he'll also be starring in The Best School Year Ever at the Nashville Children's Theater, where he's artist in residence. Gerold keeps busy, both because he loves acting and because he has a young son at home to support. (Yes, he and his son run lines together sometimes — even Shakespeare.) Although there's always the lure of the coastal entertainment hubs, where there might be more chances to find film roles, he's found a way to make it work here in Nashville, and our theater scene is all the better for it.
