Two series and a different kind of screen work
Garrett Gedrick’s public television record is measured in crew credits rather than acting roles. Under the spelling Garret Gedrick, he is associated with 4 episodes of Lucifer in 2020 and 4 episodes of The Rookie across 2021 and 2022. That small record gives his biography a professional foothold beyond being Jason Gedrick’s son.
I find the distinction important. Working on a series does not necessarily mean appearing on screen, directing an episode, or producing the show. Garrett’s identified work belongs to production support, where the credits describe a contribution without revealing every task involved.
He is the middle son of Jason Gedrick and Dana Lavas, born in 1994 between older brother Jian and younger brother Ty. Without a confirmed birthday, he is approximately 31 or 32 in October 2026.
Garrett and Garret
The supplied name uses 2 letters t in Garrett. The television crew credit uses 1, as Garret Gedrick. I would keep both spellings visible so that a reader does not mistake the difference for evidence of two separate careers.
A middle name sometimes attached to him is not established. His exact birthplace, education, and early employment are also not reliably documented. The 1994 birth year provides a broad age range, but it cannot justify a birthday or a city.
These details may seem small beside a television credit. In a short biography, however, they make a substantial difference. A specific but invented university or hometown can give an inaccurate impression of a fully documented life.
The documented production work
On Lucifer, Garrett is credited as assistant to the producer for 4 episodes in 2020. On The Rookie, the identified credit is production staff for 4 episodes during 2021 and 2022.
Those titles should remain separate. An assistant to a producer is not automatically a producer, and a production staff credit does not establish a particular department leadership role. I would not promote either title into an achievement it does not claim.
| Series | Period | Identified credit | Episode count |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lucifer | 2020 | Assistant to the producer | 4 |
| The Rookie | 2021 and 2022 | Production staff | 4 |
No acting roles, writing credits, or personal awards are established in this account. That does not rule out additional work elsewhere; it defines the public record available here. The end of the listed credits should not be treated as proof that he left the industry.
Jason Gedrick’s path into acting
Garrett’s father was born Jason Michael Gedroic on 7 February 1965 in Chicago. His parents were of Polish descent. Jason spent part of his early life in Mount Prospect and later in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood.
After his parents divorced, his older siblings lived with their father while Jason was raised by his mother. He graduated from Gordon Technical High School in 1982 and began studying business at Drake University before leaving after his freshman year to pursue acting.
His screen career includes The Heavenly Kid, Iron Eagle, Born on the Fourth of July, and Backdraft. Television work includes Murder One, EZ Streets, Boomtown, Desperate Housewives, Dexter, Luck, and Bosch.
I would avoid treating Jason’s route as Garrett’s blueprint. A parent leaving university for acting does not tell us whether a child attended college or how that child entered production work. Their careers share an industry, but the established job descriptions are different.
Dana Lavas and the three brothers
Jason married Dana Lavas in 1989, and they divorced in 1997. Their sons are Jian, born in 1991; Garrett, born in 1994; and Ty, born in 1995.
Dana’s own birth date, occupation, and later life are not established here. Describing her as a homemaker simply because other employment is not documented would be an assumption. The clear fact is her place as the mother of the three brothers.
| Name | Relationship to Garrett | Birth year or family detail |
|---|---|---|
| Jason Gedrick | Father | Born in 1965 |
| Dana Lavas | Mother | Married Jason from 1989 to 1997 |
| Jian Gedrick | Older brother | Born in 1991 |
| Ty Gedrick | Younger brother | Born in 1995 |
| Dawne Gedrick | Aunt | Jason’s older sister |
| Joel Gedrick | Uncle | Jason’s older brother |
Dawne’s name also appears as Dawn. Joel and Dawne belong to Jason’s generation, not to Garrett’s sibling group. Keeping that distinction prevents a short family summary from confusing an uncle with a brother.
A timeline without a private life invented around it
Garrett was born during his parents’ marriage and was a young child when they divorced. That chronology does not establish how custody worked, where he lived, or how the brothers experienced the separation.
His next clear public milestones are the production credits in 2020, 2021, and 2022. There is no established spouse, partner, or child in this account. I would not interpret that absence as proof of single status.
Personal finances remain equally private. Crew credits cannot establish a salary or net worth, and Jason’s acting earnings cannot be assigned to Garrett. The public record supports work, not a financial estimate.
