Gary Ray Bugarčić
Gary Ray Bugarčić is an actor, playwright and stage director based in New York City. He also sings, plays electric bass, and exhibits his art photography regularly.
Gary is a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City (AOS) and SUNY Empire State University (BA, Theatre Arts and Dramatic Writing). His training centers on the Meisner technique.
He is a member of SAG-AFTRA, the Dramatists Guild of America, and the National Guild of Hypnotists.
Across theatre, film, and television, Gary has built a career on range — from menacing to tender, from broad comedy to quiet grief. His current work includes two full-length plays and a new role in the play Astoria, running this November at Theater for the New City in NYC.
“Gary Ray truly dominates the stage with his loveable Robert character. He turns the story on its head by being so charming.”
