Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Gordon Thomson, renowned actor, and co-star of the hit tv show “Dynasty”.
Gordon Thomson is an iconic actor who’s brought us some very memorable performances in a career that spans 6 decades. He is perhaps best known for his portrayal of the evil, yet dashing “Adam Carrington” on the blockbuster TV series, “Dynasty”, for which he received nominations for a Golden Globe Award and 3 Soap Opera Digest awards.
Gordon Thomson’s body of work extends FAR beyond “Dynasty”. On the big screen, he’s appeared in a number of great movies including “Explosion”, “Leopard in the Snow”, “The Intruder”, “Man of Her Dreams”, “Little Miss Sunshine”, “Poseidon”, ““Afterburn / Aftershock” and “The Experience”.
On television, besides his role on “Dynasty” and a whole slew of guest appearances and made-for-TV movies, we remember him as “Aristotle Benedict White” on “Ryan’s Hope”, “Mason Capwell” on “Santa Barbara”, for which he received a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination, “A.J. Deschanel” on “Sunset Beach”, “Walter” on “Days of our Lives”, “Preston Regis” on “DeVanity”, for which he received 2 Indie Series Award nominations, and “Maximillion Winterthorne” on “Winterthorne”, for which he received another Indie Series Award nomination.
On the stage, Gordon Thomson has performed in everything from Shakespeare to Ibsen. He’s starred in “The Fantastiks”, “Godspell”, “King John”, “Love’s Labours Lost”, “The Imaginary Invalid”, “A Month in the Country”, “Loot”, “Eastern Standard” and many more plays.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
