Mavers graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and is best known for the roles of GP Andrew Attwood in Peak Practice which he worked on for 5 years as a doctor in a country practice, (1995 – 2000), [1] and Will Manning in Casualty in a year long role, (2004 – 2005). [2] [3]

Mavers took over the role of Gordon Livesy in Emmerdale from 2015 to 2016 where his character was involved in a child abuse storyline, after it was revealed Gordon abused his son Aaron Livesy (played by Danny Miller) as a child. Mavers was said to have "the hardest job on TV" by many and was congratulated for both his sinister portrayal of the character and being willing to take on the controversial role. [4] [5]

Mavers has three daughters, including actress Abby Mavers, [6] and is also the younger brother of The La's frontman Lee Mavers and older brother of The La's drummer Neil Mavers.

Mavers also has an online YouTube channel called "Classic Obsession - Gary Mavers" in which he restores classic cars.
