Gary in the Summer's Biggest Movie!

Gary is featured in the new Will Ferrell NASCAR comedy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby--it's one of the biggest hits of the summer! As Reese Bobby, Gary plays the father of Ferrell's character (despite them being only a few years different in age). Ain't It Cool News has already reviewed this film...check out what they had to say about Gary:

"Three cheers for Gary Cole, though, as Ricky's self-destructive, alcoholic father who shows up to retrain Ricky how to drive. As Reese Bobby he owns every scene he is in (hell, even scenes he isn't in) and conclusively answers the question, "Is there anything Gary Cole can't do?" (That would be no.)"

The film is co-written by Ferrell and Adam McKay. Co-starring are John C. Reilly, Michael Clarke Duncan, Sacha Baron Cohen and Leslie Bibb.
 

Once More, Unto the Breach

Gary has finished filming Breach, a spy movie also starring Ryan Phillippe, Chris Cooper and Laura Linney. Based on a true story, the espionage thriller is about a young FBI agent, Eric O'Neill (Phillippe), who finds that his boss and mentor, Robert Hanssen, may be the ultimate threat to the agency's integrity.

Gary plays Rich Garces, a character based on Richard Garcia, the supervisor who kept Hanssen distracted with the noose closed in around him. The film is due in theatres in March of 2007.
 

FINALLY!!! American Gothic on DVD!!!

Gary's brilliant '90s series, American Gothic, is finally out on DVD! Celebrating AG's 10th Anniversary, the DVD set will feature all 22 episodes of the entire series including the four lost episodes that never aired on network television. Bonus features include 15 deleted and extended scenes (never-before-seen) and a pilot commentary with Shaun Cassidy.

This is Gary's masterpiece role, as the sexy, charming, completely evil Sheriff Lucas Buck. CBS, the network which had the show, never knew what to do with it and ran the episodes out of order and skipped some entirely. Now you can see the complete series from start to finish! It also stars Lucas Black, Sarah Paulson, Brenda Bakke, Jake Weber, Nick Searcy and Paige Turco, and was created by Shaun Cassidy and produced by Sam Raimi.

This is absolutely our favorite show of all time here at The Gary Cole Archives. If you only buy one DVD set, this is the one to get! Buy it now from Amazon!

But which is which....?
