Gray-Stanford, best known for playing SFPD Lieutenant Randy Disher on Monk, tells People he learned in 2019 that his heart and kidneys were in complete failure and that he'd need an immediate heart transplant or he'd be dead within a few months. Since his heart transplant operation on Nov. 12, 2020, Gray-Stanford, 51, has made a full recovery. "This gift I've been given has relit a light that was almost out.," he tells People.
