Gemmill worked on JAG as an executive story editor and writer. He joined the crew in the first season and remained until the fourth season, writing a total of 18 episodes. He was nominated for a Humanitas Prize in the 60-minute category for his work on the JAG episode Angels 30.

In 2007, he won a Humanitas Prize in the 60-minute category for his work on the ER season 12 episode "There Are No Angels Here." The award was shared with his co-writer David Zabel. The episode followed doctors from County General who traveled overseas to provide aid work in a refugee camp in Darfur.
