An agent saw him and he was cast in a bit part in the film Come to the Stable (1949), which starred Loretta Young and Celeste Holm.

His next film was Holiday Affair (1949), where he got the pivotal role as Janet Leigh's son. The Des Moines Tribune reviewer wrote, "Gordon Gebert boldly and skillfully walks away with the whole 'Affair. ' Not from unknowns or has-beens, either. He's up against such polished operators as Robert Mitchum, Janet Leigh and Wendell Corey. " The Milwaukee Sentinel critic wrote that the film "shows up young Gebert as a screen natural. " He made more films with stars such as Burt Lancaster, Dan Duryea, Joel McCrea, Ray Milland, and John Wayne.

In 1948, Gordon and his parents moved to Los Angeles and Gordon started at Pasadena Playhouse in a production of 'Life With Father', opposite Victor Jory.
