Originally hailing from Dallas, Texas, Gabriel is happy to be part of the Writers Give Back team. While he's not a republican, religious or blonde, He did grow up across the street from a farm, took riding lessons and is quite unafraid of possums, coyotes and cow-patties. In addition he has a strange affinity for the Waffle House and is slightly embarrassed to admit that he knows how to shoot a shotgun. However, he now lives next to a nice Korean family that he torments ever morning as he belts country songs from the shower. Some of his latest obsessions include; Pistachio macarons, pants with suspenders, and pictures of airplane food. Lastly, he is a closeted comic book geek, and is still waiting for his super powers to manifest. Oh, and he thinks that global warming is very real.

John Francis O'Brien, the Artist Formerly Know As John O'Brien is an example of the best that New Jersey has to offer. John has been acting since he was ten when his father realized he would not be carrying out the family legacy of being a great football player, though not from a lack of trying. A mutual decision was reached that the tears he shed on a football field after getting knocked to the ground, would be better applied to a play. He is still determined to right that wrong, and is desperately hoping Friday Night Lights will call, so he can prove to his dad that football and tears go together very well. After graduating from Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University with a BFA in Acting, John realized that corporate America doesn't know what a BFA is, and decided that he would have to actually go into the field of Acting. He made his feature film debut in Kevin Jordan's Brooklyn Lobster, starring Danny Aiello. His New York stage debut was in the off-Broadway play Sniper at NYC's CenterStage. He had the distinction of being called, "cherubic" by one reviewer, despite the fact that he was playing a teenage gunman who killed 16 people. John has also appeared in commercials for Dr. Pepper and MTV (where Britney Spears ruined his big night on TV- by kissing Madonna and stealing his thunder. He has never really forgiven her.) Classically trained in London, John was most recently seen on stage at the historic Pasadena Playhouse in Matter of Honor.
