Born in Swansea, Wales, to a Welsh congregational preacher and a school teacher, Geraint was seven when he and his family moved to Canada. He graduated from Upper Canada College, after which he entered the University of Western Ontario, studying business and economics before deciding to pursue a career in acting.
In 1976, Geraint made his professional stage debut in Quebec City, appearing in "The Fantasticks," "Red Emma" and "A Midsummer Night's Dream." After moving on to London's Centre Stage Theatre Company, he began to cross over into television and he completed his first feature film role in "Deadly Harvest" with Clint Walker.
Performing for eight seasons in both the Shaw Festival and the Stratford Festival in Canada, Geraint gained a reputation as a gifted stage performer for his many presentations, including such roles as Fitzambay in "The Music Cure," Marchbanks in "Candida," Christian in "Cyrano de Bergerac," Nicky Lancaster in "The Vortex," Malcolm Lowry in "Goodnight Disgrace," Henry V in "Henry V," D'Artagnan in "The Three Muskateers" and Antipholus of Syracuse in the Rogers and Hart musical "The Boys from Syracuse." Other commercial stage performances include "My Fat Friend" in Los Angeles and "Sleuth" with Patrick McNee in Toronto.
Geraint continued his stage career when he relocated to England by joining The British Actors Theatre Company as the lead in their production of "The Last Englishman." This was followed by two seasons with Wales' leading English theatre company, Theatre Clwyd, where he toured the United Kingdom as the lead in "An Enemy of the People" and "Hamlet."
On the small screen, he has appeared in numerous television movies, including "Ghost Mom," "Hush Little Baby," "Other Women's Children," "The Return of the Six Million Dollar Man," "Bury Me in Niagra," "Mother of Pearl," "Ikwe" and the Clive Donner film "For Better and For Worse"; played the lead in the television series "Airwolf" and "To Serve and Protect"; appeared as a regular on "The Judge" and "Dracula: The Series"; and made numerous guest starring appearances in such programs as "Robocop," "Kung Fu: The Legend Continues," "Highlander," "Hidden Room," "Matrix," "Diamonds" and many others.
