Ross Hull portrayed Gary, and he's continued with occasional acting gigs since the first version of AYAOTD went off the air. After graduating from Mississippi State University and Ryerson University, Hull became a meteorologist in his native Canada. Hull embraces his child-star roots and his most famous role. He shared:
I think the concept of the Midnight Society was a really fascinating one... So, to be a part of that (even if I wasn't really a kid... I was in my late teens when we shot the series) was something special.
