Boyd Payne Gaines (born May 11, 1953) is an American stage, film, and television actor.

Early life and education

He was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Ida and James Gaines. He attended the Juilliard School as a member of the Drama Division's Group 8 (1975–1979).^[1]

Career

Gaines has appeared in a number of films and television shows, including Fame, L.A. Law and Law & Order, but perhaps he is best known for playing a dental student and dentist Mark Royer, who married Valerie Bertinelli's Barbara Cooper on TV's One Day at a Time and as Coach Brackett from the 1982 movie Porky's. Gaines is a voice-actor, and is credited with recording several audiobooks. He also played Lt Ring in the 1986 film Heartbreak Ridge and Jason in The Sure Thing.

Awards and nominations

Gaines was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play in 2007, for Journey's End, making him the first actor to be nominated in each of the four Tony categories for which an actor is eligible.

Four performers have been nominated for all four performance awards. Gaines was the first performer to be nominated for each of Best Featured Actor in a Play in 1989 for The Heidi Chronicles, Best Actor in a Musical in 1994 for She Loves Me, Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 2000 for Contact (and again in 2008 for Gypsy) and Best Actor in a Play in 2007 for Journey's End. Gaines won in three of the categories (and four of the five nominations), missing only for the performance in Journey's End.
