New York native and actor David Pressman was in his early 40s when he performed the cranky Officer Gilbert — who’s making an attempt to mess with Drake and Josh and destroy their lives within the 2008 Christmas comedy “Merry Christmas, Drake & Josh.”

Pressman was a part of an ensemble forged together with Drake Bell because the cool, engaging and guitar playin’ brother, Drake Parker, Josh Peck because the nerdy brother, Josh Nichols and Bailee Madison because the candy and sort foster youngster whom Drake assures could have one of the best Christmas ever, Mary Alice.

Different worthy forged mentions embrace Miranda Cosgrove as Megan Parker.
