Career

[edit]

1990-1994: rise to prominence

[edit]

Bellows moved to New York after graduating from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles. Six months later, after many rejections, he was considering returning to Vancouver, British Columbia, when things picked up. In 1990, he earned notice for his performance in a one-act play by Alan Bowne, A Snake in the Vein, with The New York Times writing: "Mr. Bellows is physically magnetic as the boy who believes he is tougher than he is and whose sense of bravado is so pathetically susceptible to manipulation."[1][2]

In 1989, Bellows acted in the film The First Season.[3] Film critic Elizabeth Aird of The Vancouver Sun mentioned Bellows as one who stood out in the supporting cast.[4]

In 1991, Bellows made his television debut in the Law & Order episode "The Violence of Summer".[5]

In 1992, Bellows played a young gardener in the play Flaubert's Latest. Critic William A. Raily of The Jersey Journal applauded his performance.[6] Also that year Bellows continued to receive good reviews for a A Snake in the Vein, The Daily News published "over-the-top performances (Charles Cragin and Gil Bellows), make for riveting albeit shocking drama."[7] Also in that year he acted in an episode of Flying Blind.

In 1993, he acted in two episodes of Going to Extremes.

In 1994, Bellows played the pivotal role of Tommy in Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman.[8] After a long cross-country search, casting director Deborah Aquino chose Bellows, then 27, to play the role of Tommy, after Brad Pitt, who had been initially cast, withdrew because of a scheduling conflict. Aquino explained "We must have seen every young man in that age range in Chicago, New York and L.A. -- name actors and no-name actors."[2] When he was cast, Bellows was working as a doorman at The Royalton Hotel in Manhattan.[2] Director Frank Darabont said "Gil brought this quality of ingenuousness to Tommy that I find quite believable. Even though Tommy's kind of a hardened kid, there's a naïveté to him, and Gil's got a sweetness that comes through."[2] Freeman was surprised that Bellows was fairly new actor, and said he "relaxed right into it." Bellows said "I really wanted to play Tommy, and I was really hoping the audition wouldn't come down to a name criterion, or l wouldn't have had a hope."[9] The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including "Best Picture".[10] It is often considered as one of greatest films of all times.[11]

Also that year, he played his first lead role as Watty Watt, a holdup artist on the run in the indie crime drama Love and a .45 with Renée Zellweger. Of his character, Bellows said "I loved him from the moment I read the first page of the script, in spite of his profession, he is really a noble character. "I think he does know the difference between good and bad, right and wrong. By and large his justifications are those I would embrace in my own life - other than armed robbery."[12] While the film received mixed to positive reviews, the quality of Bellows's acting was universally praised,[13][14][15] Neil Davidson in the Red Deer Advocate wrote that Bellows played his role "to perfection."[12]

1995 - 2010: subsequent success

[edit]

In 1995, Bellows played one of the leads in J. S. Cardone's crime thriller Black Day Blue Night, alongside Michelle Forbes and Mia Sara. The reviews the film highlighted its strengths as a well-executed, low-budget noir with engaging performances.[16][17][18][19] Greg Evans of Variety liked the film and of Bellows performance he said that it "outdistance the material."[20] Also that year, he co-starred opposite Sarah Jessica Parker in the romantic comedy Miami Rhapsody directed by David Frankel. In his review of the film, Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave it an A- and wrote that "the cast is uniformly fetching."[21] Finally in 1995, he played one of the leads in the television film The Silver Strand.[22]

In 1996, Bellows acted in Daniel Sullivan's film adaptation of the stage play of The Substance of Fire.[23] The film had an ensemble cast which included Ron Rifkin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Timothy Hutton, Tony Goldwyn, and more. Ella Taylor in her review for LA Weekly said of the cast that they were "so comfortable around one another that they breathe rich life into the often glib one-liners that are the hazard of theatrical dialogue."[24]Also in 1996, Bellows appeared in Al Pacino's Looking for Richard.[25] Of his appearance Bellows said "I have probably the smallest part, I was cast before Shawshank and I was a spearholder. But I got to sit in the loft and watch Al Pacino."[26] Another role that year was in the television film Radiant City.[27]

In 1997, Bellows played Billy Thomas, the former flame of the title character in Ally McBeal, opposite Calista Flockhart. Caryn James of The New York Times wrote of "the simmering heat” that he and Flockhart were able to generate.[28] Of his character Bellows said "he's probably the most stable-acting of all the characters, but underneath I think he's the most tormented." The series was success for Fox Network.[29] After two years, for the episode when the character of McBeal and Thomas finally unite the show reached a record number of viewership according to the Nielsen rating system of nearly 17 millions viewers. On the success of the episode Bellows said "the relationship between Billy and Ally is a major component in the show. There are a lot of other characters on the show who can be considered flashier or more funny but I don’t think there’s a story line that’s more compelling than Billy and Ally. I think their relationship anchors Ally as a human being as opposed to her character as a wacky figment of (producer David E.) Kelley’s imagination. Billy allows her to explore human emotions that she probably wouldn’t be exploring otherwise and I think everybody responds to romance in one way or another.”[30] With the rest of the cast, he won and was nominated twice for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series" at the Screen Actors Guild Awards.[31][32][33] During his tenure on the show he reprised his role in the spin-off series Ally (1999),[34] and "Axe Murderer" a crossover episode withThe Practice (1998).[35] Bellows announced that he would be leaving the show in season 3, but would make guest appearances moving forward.[36][37] Bellows explained that he felt "the show was starting to fall apart early in the third season" and that his character "started getting kooky. There were a lot of us -- and I loved working with that crew -- that found the script no longer made any sense." He spoke with the producer and the agreed that he "could leave in a way that suited the original spirit of the show, which was grounded with heart."[38]

Also in 1997 Bellows acted in several movies these are Snow White: A Tale of Terror,[39] Witch Way Love,[40] The Assistant,[41] White Lies, and Dinner at Fred's.[42]

In 1998, Bellows acted in the films Judas Kiss,[43] and Say You'll Be Mine.[44]

In 2000, Bellows also appeared in the psychological thriller Chasing Sleep. Patrick Z. McGavin of the Chicago Tribune said that "Bellows does standout work as an intrepid detective."[45] That year he also played roles in Beautiful Joe,[46] and in the television film The Courage to Love.[47]

In 2001, he portrayed CIA agent Matt Callan in the CBS primetime television series The Agency. At the end of the first season, Bellows was dissatisfied with the direction of the story,* and chose to leave the show after a mutual agreement with the producers. Without Bellows, The Agency was re-cast, but it was canceled by the end of the second season.[38][48] Also in 2001, Bellows acted in one episode of Night Visions, and the made-for-tv film She Creature.[49]

In it he plays the husband of a woman, played by Maria del Mar, diagnosed with breast cancer. Bellows believes that the part was "as good and complex a role as I ever had", on the part he said "it really spoke to me, I have children, I'm the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. These shows will get people to talk about the stuff that usually sits in the back of your head spinning before you go to sleep: What's going to happen if I lose you, or what happens if I go." Bellows explained that as they were shooting tragic moments "they're heavy scenes, and you're shaking, you're fighting the tears. You go outside and you'll see crew members in the same place, feeling the same way. One of them will talk about a spouse or relative."[64] Alison Cunninghan in her praise of the mini-series in The Ottawa Citizen wrote "Bellows is exceptional. He turns in a stunning performance as a man who manages to anchor his family while he's close to imploding. Watching Bellows play such conflicting emotions, often within the same scene, is transfixing. His scenes with del Mar are gilded with the nuances and gestures that flourish between longtime friends and lovers."[65] At the Gemini Awards, Bellows received a nomination for "Best Performance by an Actor in a Continuing Leading Dramatic Role".[66]
