Kent Gilbert (ケント・ギルバート) born May 25, 1952 in Utah) is an actor working in Japan. He first visited Japan in 1971 as a Mormon missionary. After returning to the United States, he received a degree in Law as well as an MBA from Brigham Young University.

On a business trip to Japan in 1980, he had a chance to perform as a stand-in for a foreign theatrical company, which led to other opportunities on Japanese television and films. He is a celebrity (gaijin tarento) and was often on news programs as a commentator with a "foreign" point of view. He returned to the US in the early 1990's and now lives in Orem, Utah.
