"Born with a gun in one hand and a fishing pole in the other", Jerry Oldham, 58, is a successful Senior Production Technician at Georgia Gulf in Plaquemine Louisiana, a TV Producer/Actor for a Harley Davidson television show, La. Rider, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and a Producer/ Production Manager/Location Scout for Mercury Rising Films' next feature drama, Barracuda.

Originally from a rural community in Northeast Louisiana, Jerry's father, Burt Oldham, was a special agent for the Wildlife and Fisheries Department. As a result, Jerry was exposed to hunting big game, fishing and the great outdoors at an early age. He played football and baseball, graduated in 1969, attended Northeast State College in Monroe Louisiana and married his small town sweetheart, Ida Pearl, in 1971, with whom they produced a daughter, Christy Oldham.

In his spare time, Jerry enjoys leading organized motorcycle rallies down the back roads of Louisiana on his Harley Davidson Heritage Soft Tail motorcycle with his wife Pearl (she drives her own Harley Davidson Sportster). He continues to hunt and fish on land that he owns in Grosse Tete, Louisiana, is still married to his wife of over 35 years, and has a cursing African Grey Parrot named 'Pete'.

Jerry will also play a supporting role in Barracuda.
