Whatever happened to Gary Sandy

Gary Sandy is best known for playing program director Andy Travis on the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati. However, apparently he kind of hates that. Gary once said that it bothers him that he is known for a ’70s television show. It is true that he has done much more in his 76 years of life. He has appeared on other television shows and has been very active in theater.

Born on Christmas Day, he grew up in Ohio and later attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. He started his career with some guest appearances on soap operas and shows including Barnaby Jones and Starsky & Hutch.
