Career
Gelbwaks was born in Los Angeles, California, and was the first actor to play the role of Chris Partridge.[2] He left the series after the first season, and was replaced by Brian Forster in the summer of 1971.[3] According to his Partridge Family castmate David Cassidy, Gelbwaks "had a personality conflict with every person in the cast, and with the producers".[4] In a 2005 interview with the Television Academy Foundation, Shirley Jones mentioned that Gelbwaks "was not happy doing [the show] ... his parents wanted him to do it, so we replaced him".[5]
Gelbwaks retired from acting when his family moved from California to Reston, Virginia, a suburb of Washington, D.C., where they resided for a year-and-a-half before moving again to Connecticut, and later to Potsdam, New York.[6] Gelbwaks graduated from Hermon Dekalb Central School (Dekalb Junction, N.Y.) in 1978 and was a member of the National Honor Society.[7] His father Norman taught computer science at the State University of New York at Potsdam.[1]
Gelbwaks graduated from Potsdam College in 1983, and became a computer analyst while studying chemistry at UC Berkeley. He worked in the computer industry until 1999, studied business at Columbia University, and became a management consultant. He married Patricia Polander and moved to New Orleans, where he works as a business and technology planner.[8]
