Gerard Christopher DiNome was born in New York City on May 11, 1959. He is one of twelve children, born to a family of Italian ancestry. Gerard appeared in eighteen films and TV appearances between 1984 and 2013.
He was the second actor to play the role in the television series ‘Superboy’ (1989-1992), replacing John Haymes Newton, who played the role in season one (1988–1989). During his tenure he would later also be a producer and writer on the series. He has performed in a number of telemovies and was a guest star on daytime soap operas such as ‘Days of Our Lives’ and ‘Sunset Beach’, and the prime-time soap opera ‘Melrose Place’. He has also starred in the comedy movie “Tomboy” (1985).
He was chosen to play Superman in the TV series ‘Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman’ (1993), until the producer who hired him read his acting resume and discovered that he had previously starred in ‘Superboy’ (1988). According to Christopher, the producer said, "You've done this already, I want someone who hasn't acted before!" He was then dismissed from the room, and the role was given to Dean Cain.
Christoper appeared in two Euro-western TV westerns: The TV Euro-western films “Guns of Honor” (TV) in 1994 as Lieutenant Mark Counter, and “Trigger Fast” in 1994as Mark Counter. This was to be a TV series but that never materialized so the filmed footage was made into two films.
