Gaines has appeared in a number of films and television shows, including Fame, Frasier, L.A.

Gaines was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play in 2007, for Journey's End,[12] making him the first actor to be nominated in each of the four Tony categories for which an actor is eligible.[7] Only two male and three female performers have been nominated for all four Tony performance awards, the others being Raúl Esparza, Angela Lansbury, Jan Maxwell, and Audra McDonald.[13] Gaines was the first performer to be nominated for each of Best Featured Actor in a Play in 1989 for The Heidi Chronicles, Best Actor in a Musical in 1994 for She Loves Me,[14] Best Featured Actor in a Musical in 2000 for Contact[15] and again in 2008 for Gypsy, and Best Actor in a Play in 2007 for Journey's End.
