Character Name: King Gerard, formerly Prince Gerard |
King Gerard is one of the supporting characters of the Smurfs cartoon show, who has appeared on the show up until Season 8. He was a human teenage prince who was to become king when his aunt Imperia had shut him up in a dungeon, making the rest of the kingdom believe that he was suffering an illness so she could take her nephew's rightful place. However, shortly before she was to be coronated as queen, Prince Gerard had an unexpected visitor in the form of Clockwork Smurf, who had fled from the Smurf Village after becoming aware of himself. With Clockwork's help, Prince Gerard fled to the Smurf Village where he received help from the Smurfs in retaking the kingdom away from his scheming aunt. From the day Gerard was coronated as king, he made Clockwork Smurf his personal advisor, and has from time to time even assisted the Smurfs.
His character was voiced by Phil Proctor.
