His Broadway career has included various plays, such as “Evita,” an original Broadway show in which he played Juan Peron. For this role, he was nominated for a Tony Award. He also worked on a Broadway production called “Sweeney Todd”, in which he was also nominated for a Tony Award.

He also played Woodrow Wilson in the movie “Angel with Iron Jaws.” However, as we mentioned earlier, Gunton is best known for his role in the movie The Shawshank Redemption. In a May 2014 Wall Street Journal article, Gunton reported that, thanks to the success of on-Shawshank, he still earns “at least six figures” a year from residuals. This is extremely unusual for a 20-year-old film, and speaks to the film’s continued popularity around the world.
