Boyd Gaines, who turns 64 today, has had prominent supporting roles in films such ranging from Porky’s to Heartbreak Ridge. 1980s television viewers may recall him as Dr. Mark Royer, the boyfriend and later husband of Valerie Bertinelli’s character on One Day at a Time. However, Gaines’s greatest accomplishments have been in the theater; he is one of the most distinguished stage actors of the last 30-40 years.
After several years in Off-Broadway productions, Gaines made his Broadway debut in Wendy Wasserstein’s Pulitzer Prize-winning The Heidi Chronicles. His Tony award for Best Featured Actor in a Play was his first of four, and his first step to being one of only a handful of performers who have received Tony nominations in all four acting categories. He won Best Featured Actor in a Musical twice, for the original production of Contact in 2000 and for a 2008 revival of Gypsy, and won Best Actor in a Musical for a 1993 revival of She Loves Me. He was nominated for, but did not win, Best Actor in a Play for a 2007 revival of Journey’s End.
