The multi-talented Richard Gere, most well-known as an actor starring in over 40 movies, is also an accomplished pianist, photographer, social activist, and composer. Above all, he is a humanitarian. Gere’s public charity, Healing the Divide, works across a wide range of issues: from the growing HIV/AIDS crisis in Asia to the need for prison reform; to peace in the Middle East.
For many years he has found his spiritual source and guidance in Tibetan Buddhism, and he has been one of the most outspoken defenders of the Tibetan people. A student and friend of the Dalai Lama, he has made numerous journeys throughout India, Nepal, Zanskar, and Tibet.
As a committed photographer, he has worked extensively within these regions. In the last several years, Gere has begun showing his photographs in museums and galleries around the world, to universal acclaim.
