Biography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Donald Gibb (August 4, 1954 — May 12, 2026), sometimes credited as Don Gibb, was an American actor. With an imposing 6 ft-4in frame, he was best known for portraying the hulking, dim-witted fraternity brother "Ogre" in several instalments of the Revenge of the Nerds film series.
Raised in California, Gibb attended the University of New Mexico on a basketball scholarship, where he joined Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He then transferred to University of San Diego to play football. Gibb played briefly for the San Diego Chargers before turning to acting, beginning with small, uncredited roles in Stripes and Conan the Barbarian.
Gibb is best known for his "Ogre" character portrayed first in Revenge of the Nerds and later in Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise and Revenge of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love. Chugging beer from a trophy, throwing nerds off fraternity buildings and competing in belching contests, Gibb gleefully played up his former days as a college football jock.
