Gary Cole has appeared in far too many plays, tv shows, films, and animated series to even begin to count them. His latest character is Gordon Novel, an intense investigator, in “Waco: The Aftermath” now streaming on Showtime (new episodes every Friday). Surprisingly, Gary credits his love of standup comedy at an early age as his inspiration to pursue acting, and fondly recalls being in a delivery room while the horrific events of the Waco standoff were unfolding. From playing the Vice President of the United States, to Mike Brady, to a foulmouthed consultant on “Veep,” Gary breaks down how he prepares for these wide-ranging roles and heralds the importance of always “staying in the moment.”
