Gaye acted in two movies, featuring as a Vietnam veteran in both roles. His first performance was in
the 1969 George McCowan film The Ballad of Andy Crocker, which starred Lee Majors. The film was
about a war veteran returning to find that his expectations have not been met and he feels betrayed.
Gaye had a prominent role in the film as David Owens.[192] His other performance was in 1971. He
had a role in the Lee Frost-directed biker-exploitation film Chrome and Hot Leather, about a group of
Vietnam veterans taking on a bike gang. The film starred William Smith; Gaye played the part of Jim,
one of the veterans.[193][194] Gaye did have acting aspirations and had signed with the William Morris
Agency but that only lasted a year as Gaye wasn't satisfied with the support he was getting from the
agency.[195]
