Want to know more about Richard Gere, his films, his life, activist causes? This portal is the place for all that, plus discussions, pics and more obscure tidbits from the 30-year, award-winning career of this popular actor.
Richard Gere's acting career started wtih American Gigolo and was solidified with An Officer and a Gentleman in the early 1980s. Gere is also well-know for his activism, especially heading the movement to free Tibet from Chinese occupation, improve human rights for Tibetan nationals and allow the safe return of its exiled leader, the Dalai Lama. In fact, after an acceptance speech condemning China's actions in Tibet, the Academy of Motion Pictures told Gere, something to the effect, you will never be on this stage again. Having met the Dalai Lama in person, Gere says that the meeting had a huge impact on him (Gere is now a practicing Buddhist).
Other Gere blockbusters include Pretty Woman, Internal Affairs, and the film version of Chicago. In his latest film, The Hoax, he stars as Clifford Irving, and he's got four movies in the can taking him into 2008.

Richard Gere is pretty good in this role and he keeps you guessing on what he has to do to cover up his latest lie. He's convincing and sells the concept to "never let the truth get in the way of a good story." It's the early 70's in Hollywood and Clifford...

India courts have lifted Richard Gere’s warrant for arrest which started back in April of 2007 when Gere kissed Shilpa Shetty.
Gere should have known better to respect other country’s culture but this whole arrest thing was stupid as well.
Almost a year later, Mr. Gere’s warrant was protested all the way to India’s Supreme Court, which ruled in his favor. “Gere is allowed to come and leave,” Anil Grover, an attorney for Ms. Shetty, told The Associated Press. “He can’t be arrested.”
