In addition to playing a doctor in daytime television, David Gail was also a primetime actor who starred in multiple series throughout the years. Fans of "Beverly Hills, 90210" will remember him as Stuart Carson in multiple episodes, the one-time fiancé of Shannen Doherty's character Brenda Walsh. The actor also starred in the primetime drama "Savannah," playing Dean Collins for over 30 episodes.
Gail had parts in big-screen projects, as well, and appeared in the movies "Some Girl" with Juliette Lewis, and "Bending All the Rules" with Bradley Cooper. He took a break from Hollywood after 2008, but in 2019, returned as a behind-the-mic actor, working on voicing characters in a video game.
He left his biggest impact with "Port Charles," though, as evidenced by the tributes his one-time co-stars shared on social media. "He was a good guy, a pleasure to be around, and I always thought he was a real talent," Jon Lindstrom, who played Dr. Kevin Collins, wrote on Instagram. Kin Shriner, aka Scott Baldwin, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share he once went on a diving trip in the Bahamas with Gail. "He was a good guy!"
