Gale Harold Information

[rockybonnie.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have any information about Gale Harold's family or current partners etc.

I know his a very private person but someone out there has to know something. A person in the spotlight can't keep all his private life hidden.

I hope you don't if I join you in asking about Gale's personal life. I've been curious about certain things: does he still smoke; what does the RESIST tatoo represent, what's he resisting; did he and the actress that played Mel really hook up beyond the scenes; does he have a live-in lover, and does he have a kid.

I hope someone doesn't mind sharing the inside scoop. Many devotees of Gale may view such questions as too intrusive of his private life, but I absolutely mean no harm. I'm just a nosey fan, no harm intended.

Anyway, I hope the people in-the-know will come forth.

Thanks.

PS: I was very hesitant about posting my questions, for fear of being flamed or worse. Please don't attack me or the original inquirer. I don't mind deleting my comment if it's found offensive.

Oh, I admit I'm curious too!
(On the imdb board posts some LunaLight, that claims to know his family. She writes lots of nasty things, that are always deleted and I won't repeat them here.)

Yesterday I saw, that Yara and Scott tweeted. Scott wrote, that he and Gale tried to synchronize their next theatre performances, but it didn't work out. And Yara asked him when he would play, because she didn't want to miss it. That sounds to me as if she gets no direct information from Gale. So....

Does Gale have a twitter account?

[love4movies.livejournal.com]

No.
There is one Gale Harold account out there, but Scott repeatedly said it's fake.

They most certainly can if, like Gale, they absolutely LOATHE interviews.

The most we've ever gotten out of Gale was during the QAF run. He did an interview during the SXSW show several years ago about the Scott Walker documentary he produced, a few throwaway soundbites about Desperate Housewives, but really, you'll have to hunt like you're looking for Jimmy Hoffa to find anything.

If you saw that "interview" he just did about his new show, you'll see what I mean. That's Gale, pretty much.

I would love to know what the RESIST stands for; it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

No, not really. lol I know an interviewer asked once (I think it was the Flaunt interview) but he wouldn't say. I always thought it had something to do with drugs...except he's a bigger pothead than Bill Maher. rotfl So, when I think of it, or see it, I think to myself that it means RESIST negativity, or giving up.

Walt Whitman did this poem. Resist is a keyword and didn't Gale start Romantic Literature in college?

Where does these rumors originate from that he is a major pothead? Because he admitted in an interview that he lit up before it? And I read somewhere, that he drank whiskey in coffee cups during DVD signings? Is there any truth in it?

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...possible that he took it from Whitman. I like WW a lot.

No idea about the whiskey during DVD signings, I didn't/don't follow Gale, only when he's on tv...at least, I stopped following his every move around the time he did Vanished. As far as the pothead thing goes, it's kind of a not-secret secret. Can't point you towards anything specific. Others may be able to. I do know that Hal has said it several times, although a lot of people dismiss that as this hate/hate thing that Hal has for Gale.

While I would never divulge any personal/family info I've been privileged to hear about Gale, I CAN share this tidbit: When Gale and Peter were in the Bay Area for the first DVD signing, they made 2 appearances. The second was in a Best Buy store in Milpitas, of all places. Anyway, "the boys" took what an announcer called "a potty break," and later one of the salesmen divulged to a few of us that Gale and Peter spent their time in the bathroom sharing a joint. They were both quite jolly that day.

It's my opinion that part of Gale's "reputation" for being stoned can be blamed on his sometimes-rambling, almost incoherent early interviews. Whether that was related to use of pot, or just Gale's rather unique personality, who can say?

p.s. I almost forgot that I posted photos from that DVD signing on my website: http://morpheusqaf.com/Milpitas.html

To be fair, marijuana is legal (with a license) in California (and Colorado! State pride! XD). Also, celebrities smoking pot is totally common. Smart celebrities can safely smoke pot and avoid all the negative health effects of other drugs. (Well, then there's acid and mushrooms, but we don't need to go there...) I DIGRESS. My point is, I would bet money he smokes weed. And OH. MY. GOD. If I could only smoke Gale up ONE TIME. JUST. ONE. TIME. C'MONNNNNN. Would be the best time ever. x.x

My point is, I would bet money he smokes weed.

I think that's been established.

[ryosato.livejournal.com]

So has the plot of the show, but people still discuss that. ;)

[lady-jane.livejournal.com]

Also, Hal's comments.

[mmmorpheusq.livejournal.com]

I would not believe anything that lying sack of shit says.

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

That was truly cringe-worthy. I was like, "Oh, GALE...please stop talking." lol

[metafascinating.livejournal.com]

OMG. I just watched it for the first time. Cringe-worthy is right. That poor reporter! She hung in there though. I would have moved on a lot faster than she did! lol :)

[sarahj2222.livejournal.com]

What is this interview? Where can I see it? Sarah

[rznbloodrose.livejournal.com]

Here's a direct link (http://www.zap2it.com/videobeta/9610544b-69df-44b3-8de9-4c493b5ffbcb/Entertainment/Fall-TV-2011-The-Secret-Circle-s-Gale-Harold)

Sorry for the spam!

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

God I love him for that, lol. I've always felt weirdly creepy anytime I'd accidentally find out any personal details about either him or Randy. I love that Gale makes it really tough for that to happen. (I peeked through nearly closed eyes when I clicked in here but I was hoping someone said what you said, lol.)

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

I don't mind the personal info if the person in question divulged it, and back in the day, I glommed on whatever info we did get. But yeah. I'm in the Adam Lambert fandom, and omfg...he puts a lot of info out there, which is great, but good lord, it makes me wanna throw shit when people decide to tweet him and tell him what they think he should or shouldn't be doing with whomever he's dating. It's...dude. I'm all "People...I don't recall him asking you for permission, or even your opinion, so please to be STFU now, kthx."

Randy is even more closed-mouthed, if that's possible. Hell, Simon was the one that would mention him, I think Randy mentioned Simon maybe two or three times, if that, when they were dating. I like it that they have managed to keep their private lives as private as they have.

I don't mind the personal info if the person in question divulged it

Nothing wrong with that, of course, but I'm still weird about it. And that's just my own odd issues! I used to think I like had a duty to watch/read interviews and stuff if I was going to write RPS for them but I could never do it without getting queasy or having a panic attack, lol. The fact that I never felt creepy writing fics about them really makes no sense, but... I generally don't make sense ;-b

Hee. Adam + Twitter = TMI OTP

[vlredreign.livejournal.com]

I generally don't make sense ;-b

ROTFL

Adam + Twitter = TMI OTP

Oh, honey...have you SEEN Tommy Joe's Tumblr!?!? That boy is the definition of TMI. I love him so much, he had me DYING yesterday. And Adam...sigh. I heart that boy so hard!!!

[snapegirlusa.livejournal.com]

I think the reason G/R RPS didn't weird me out is because of the fact that we don't know much about them personally. It almost makes it seem like the "Gale" and "Randy" in the RPS stories are just characters along with Brian and Justin.

It might be the reason why it didn't make you feel weird writing those wonderful stories and I fawned over!! Let's just say, all of your RPS me this girl very, very happy!

[wouldbedorothy.livejournal.com]

That makes sense. Hello, lady! :)

[vasilikii.livejournal.com]

It is a slippery slope, he may not have divulged things in interview, however, his family has made headlines quite a few times too, so the information is public, just not from Gale's mouth.

[love4movies.livejournal.com]

What headlines are you talking about? If it's public would you care to share?

[bigdogz09.livejournal.com]

My ears just perked up and my nose got wet... what headlines, hmmmm?

I'm a late bloomer with Gale et al. i watched a little back in the beginning, but didn't get into the fandom until a year ago. I was too afraid to ask questions 'cos, well, there's scary people in fandoms.

So, I'm taking a chance now and thanks for indulging me and others.

[vasilikii.livejournal.com]

I deleted my post, listing the public record information known about Gale's family, because so many have mentioned they write RPS and do not want to know any actual info.

So, I guess, PM me? I do not want to anger the mods or forum.

[sarahj2222.livejournal.com]

There is an enomous amount of info on Gale.. People think they're
protecting him by not writing about it. Me too, I guess.
However, I can explain the RESIST tatoo.
RESIST was a common protest during the Vietnam war which is probably
where Gale got it from. But it is a common cry from all people
resisting political oppression, resisting taxes, resisting the draft,
resisting oppression of all kinds.
It is an international cry and altho I don't recommend for a tatoo
it is, in general, an excellent credo to live one's life by.
Finally, it would be good if someone laid his whole story out. It would make a great movie.
Peace out.
