Gregory Harrison sat for this 1984 interview on a Malibu beach while he was riding high on the success of his portrayal of Dr. “Gonzo” Gates in the hit TV series, “Trapper John, M.D.” which ran for seven seasons (1979-86). Born and raised on Catalina Island, California, Harrison talks about his lifelong love of surfing, working as both an actor and producer, and his relationship with actress Randi Oakes, to whom he was secretly married at the time. Oakes was well-known for her role as Officer Bonnie Clark on the “ChiPs” TV series. The two had quietly exchanged vows in December 1980 and their marriage was kept secret from the public for several years. She retired from acting after the birth of their first child in 1985.
