On television, he played Greg Montgomery in the hit series Dharma & Greg, for which he was twice nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Comedic Actor. Gibson has also starred in Hallmark's fantasy The Last Empire, the mini-series A Will of Their Own, the mini-series adaptation of Gore Vidal's Lincoln, The Kennedys of Massachusetts, and Louisa May Alcott's The Inheritance, among others.

He also appeared for three seasons on the David Kelley series Chicago Hope. He recently costarred with Glenn Close in the Hallmark Hall of Fame production Brush with Fate and in the television movie Evil Never Dies.
