Jerry Harrell
Actor
Born July 10, 1947 in Morristown, Tennessee, USA
After proudly serving in the Vietnam Conflict as a Chinese language interpreter for Air Force Intelligence and earning him the Purple Heart, Jerry returned to Tennessee to begin a career in broadcasting. He worked as a radio DJ and in television at WKPT in Kingsport. It was there that he met and married Jean Owens, and together they welcomed their son, Daniel. A born entertainer, Jerry walked two creative paths. Behind the microphone and camera, he built a distinguished career as a producer, director, and writer. At the same time, he pursued his lifelong love of performance on stage and television. The family later moved to Richmond, Virginia, where Jerry, already an accomplished magician and ventriloquist, portrayed Ronald McDonald and later Bozo the Clown on WTVR-TV. In 1975, Jerry moved to Hampton Roads to accept a Senior Producer position at WAVY-TV. There, he created what would become his most beloved and enduring on-screen persona, Doctor Madblood. Originally conceived as a one-time Halloween special, the character became a regional television icon, entertaining audiences for five decades, celebrating his 50th anniversary show last year, after nearly 18 years on WHRO TV. Throughout his career, Jerry was widely recognized for his many television personas, including Dr. Madblood, Rusty the Rent-to-Own Man, and JJ the Wizard on Fox-33 Kids Club. Beyond his on-screen work, he earned dozens of awards for producing hundreds of documentaries, television programs, commercials, and video presentations for organizations such as March of Dimes, the SPCA, the U.S. Navy, and many others. He retired from Old Dominion University after more than 20 years in the position of Video Production Manager.
