| - Gavin David Free (also called Gavino, or Gav; born 23 May 1988) is an English actor, director, cinematographer, and internet personality. Free is best known for his extensive work and employment at Rooster Teeth—where he formerly served as creative director— and was (and still is ) being featuring in many of their projects such as co-hosting in the the Streamy Award winning science and technology entertainment YouTube based web series The Slow Mo Guys and the Achievement Hunter gaming division. He directed season 7 of Red vs. Blue, as well as its miniseries Relocated. Free is also known as the co-creator, contributor and and co-host of two Rooster Teeth-owned YouTube-based web series channels: 1) The Slow Mo Guys, alongside his friend and co-worker Daniel Gruchy, which features slow-motion footage of various stunts and experiments, garnering as of over 1.2 billion views as of November 2017 since it's November 2010 debut. And 2) Achievement Hunter, alongside friends and co-workers Geoff Ramsey, Jack Pattillo, Ryan Haywood, Michael Jones, Jeremy Dooley and (formerly) Ray Narvaez, Jr., which has almost 1.5 million subscribers and over 475 million views as of November 2017. Gavin served as a contract host from 2008 till 2011 and Ramsey and Pattillo brought Free in due to his experience in halo video games, with Gavin playing against Geoff and Jack (and later against Ryan, Michael, and Ray) in Halo during Achievement HORSE episodes. He joined the AH team full time on February 14, 2012, the same day he also met Michael and started working full-time at Rooster Teeth. His acting roles include Woody in Lazer Team and its sequel, Vav in the animated comedy series X-Ray and Vav, and Scarlet David in RWBY. He is also known for his slow motion cinematography work for films,[2] including Hot Fuzz (2007), Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011), Snow White and the Huntsman (2012), and Dredd (2012).[3] Free has also worked on slow-motion footage for the BBC show Top Gear. At the 2016 Streamy Awards, Free won for Cinematography. He resides in his mansion in Austin, Texas with his girlfriend Meg Turney. He previously lived with Geoff Ramsey, Griffon Ramsey, and their daughter Millie for two years. In April 2011, the Slow Mo Guys channel was voted the winner of YouTube's On The Rise program. In September 2012, their episode involving crushing watermelons was featured on The Tonight Show. Free has appeared alongside Gruchy in the annual YouTube Rewind series since 2013. Free was nominated for a Webby Award in the Best Web Personality/Host (Online Film & Video) category for his work on The Slow Mo Guys on April 5, 2016. Image:14YearOldGavin.jpg Gavin's primary gamertag is GavinoFree, as seen in the Let's Plays. He has a secondary gamer tag, GavInDaUSA—this could be because Gavin has previously referenced being banned from Xbox Live, and would thus need a backup. In the Slow Mo Guys, he is the host announcing and presenting the challenge with Dan as the "lab rat", and on occasion, Gavin partakes in the task as well. In Achievement Hunter, although he can think of good plans, he is often shown to be dying or being easily surpassed by another Hunter, usually because of his trolling and screwing around. He also has a habit of yelling out random things or insults when he dies or fails, or is just frustrated. The best video game he is ever good in is the Halo video game franchise (mostly Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2).
