Description
Garry Gergich , also known as Jerry , Lenny, Larry or Terry , is a fictional character in the TV series Parks and Recreation , portrayed by Jim O'Heir. The character has appeared in every episode of the series, with the exception of the first-season episode "Canvassing". He was credited as a recurring character for the first two seasons, but was promoted to the main cast beginning with season three. He first appeared in the opening credits/theme alongside Retta, who portrayed Donna Meagle, in the season six episode "Anniversaries", following the departures of cast members Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe.
Jerry's real name is Garry, but he is referred to as Jerry for the first five seasons (for which reason the character is usually referred to by this name in external media). In the last two seasons — as a running joke — the name other characters call him changes, initially to Larry, then to Terry, before finally settling on Garry, with most characters unaware that this is his actual name.
