Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 1/13/25 – For Edwin Lee Gibson, his multiple partnerships with FX Networks were a mere coincidence. Now, the duo is on the road to success. “FX is fearless, and I see myself that way, so it’s a good fit,” he explained.
Gibson started acting when he was 16 and has since starred in 104 productions worldwide. Most recently, he starred in FX’s The Bear and She Taught Love. Now, he is looking ahead to his newest endeavor, a pink and red dress, made of satin… covered in flowers, mostly roses.
Gibson responded to his work on The Bear with all positive feedback, sharing a recent meeting with producer Christopher Storer. The two discussed their thoughts and the audience’s thoughts on the show. “I love doing the show with everyone. What people see that chemistry on camera, is indicative of how we are when the cameras aren’t rolling,” he shared. With the show renewed for a third season, Gibson looks forward to continuing his work with FX and Hulu.
In addition to acting, Gibson is also a writer. “I never want to be seen as an actor; I’m an artist, and artists create work,” he shared. “If you want to move in the business, you have to show people you can do beyond what they can do and put your mouth where your money is.” His upcoming short, a pink and red dress, made of satin… covered in flowers, mostly roses, began production in late 2024. The film was initially intended to be longer; however, Storer advised against putting all his money into his first project. He transformed it into a shortened 12-page version. Gibson will have a small role in addition to serving as executive producer.
Gibson was also chosen to be part of the Sony Pictures Television Writing Program in 2022 for his pilot Nicodemus. “You can only be nominated, and you can’t submit your own work,” Gibson said. “They read the projects blindly, and after the first cut, they find out who wrote the work. The program is filled with prompts and learning how to talk about the script and television writing process beyond a pilot.” Gibson shared he remained close with Sony following the program.
Gibson is looking forward to his projects this coming year, sharing he “may be working in the UK a bit more in 2025”. To learn more about Edwin Lee Gibson, you can follow along on his Instagram, @EdwinLeeGibson.
