Gary Mauro

Actor Gary Mauro was born and bred in New Jersey and is the identical twin brother of actor Glen Mauro. He has made a career of appearing with his brother in television, film, music videos, commercials and print ads. Gary began in the industry in New York City as a model on shoots that took him to exotic locations around the world including Milan, Belgium and Switzerland. His most notable roles include one of the seductive twin vampires in the 1985 feature film Once Bitten (1985), starring Lauren Hutton, Jim Carrey, and Cleavon Little, which has become a cult-classic, and one of 'The Boys of Summer' in the Don Henley music video of the same name (he and Glen can be seen at the beginning jumping on the beach in glorious slow-motion and other scenes). Gary and his brother have also worked with writer/director/producer Steven Spielberg, as guest-stars playing Sam and Dave, 'The Terrible Twins' on The Mission (1985), which is the longest, and perhaps the most famous, episode of television's Amazing Stories (1985), starring Kevin Costner and Kiefer Sutherland. The episode was originally completed as a half-hour but Mr. Spielberg loved it so much that he invited the entire cast back to shoot an additional 30 minutes, making it the only hour-long episode of the series.
