Gerald

Gerald is a fictional character played by James Munroe in the 2017 film, Bigsby.

Gerald encounters Bigsby while walking through Wentworth Park with his son, Jayden.

Gerald reluctantly allows Bigsby to make a balloon animal for his son, which is in fact merely an inflated condom.

Development and Casting
The character was created by Fritz Bishop in his initial draft of a script for the first episode, "Bigsby the Clown". Originally conceived as a generous and nurturing father to contrast Bigsby in his drunken stupor, while also foreshadowing the plot of "Bigsby the Father".

Unlike most characters, Gerald was not written with a specific actor to portray him, though a few were considered, Fritz felt they could not accurately represent a concerned father. James Munroe was cast, along with his real-life son, after they auditioned for Fritz and John Bury.

Gerald's legal name is derived for a childhood bus driver of Fritz.
