He had a brief sports stint with the San Diego Chargers prior to his acting career, according to IMDB.
Costar Carradine, who played the role of Lewis Skolnick in “Revenge of the Nerds” alongside Gibb, took his own life after battling bipolar disorder, his brother and actor Keith Carradine said in February, according to Deadline.
His work, along with Gibb’s, in the 1984 comedy in which a group of losers take on a jock fraternity, won over film lovers and made the production a beloved classic.
