Ryan Hurst as Gerry Bertier
The film did an excellent job of depicting both the horrific occurrence that left Gerry Bertier disabled and the automobile accident that resulted in his untimely death. Both of these incidents were portrayed in the film. However, Bertier’s real-life accomplishments as a great football player and later as a Paralympic gold winner were not given any screen time in the film. Bertier actually won the gold medal in both of these tournaments.
Ryan Hurst nailed the role. The 2008 FX series Sons of Anarchy made him famous as Opie Winston. He also appeared in Bates Motel, Patch Adams, Bosch, and The Walking Dead’s 10th season.
