Personal life

[edit]

Gage was married to late actress Kelly Preston from 1985 to 1987.[2]

On July 30, 2003, Gage was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison, starting September 29, 2003, for cultivating marijuana, despite owning a California-issued license for medicinal marijuana.[3] Gage stated that he cultivated medicinal cannabis to help him cope with chronic pain and stress from injuries suffered in a 1993 car crash,[4] as well as for a sister with cancer and brother with multiple sclerosis.[5] He was released on March 17, 2006.[6]

Gage married Shannon Perris-Knight in 2005; their son was born in January 2007. Perris-Knight was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer in 2008 and died in 2014.[7]
