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.

I was a little kid in the 80's and remember my mom watching Dynasty with me. Now I'm re-watching all the Dynasty seasons on Plluto Tv for free and it's never looked better and Dynasty airs 24/7 on Pluto. Seems remastered and looks incredible and Gordon and Jack Coleman and John James were all so ravishingly handsome. Such a great show! Best season are 1 to 6 and then the amazing season 9. Great interview and thank you, for chatting to fans Gordon :)
I’m so pleased that enjoyed this episode of our show. Don’t miss my interview with Linda Evans!
Having just watched a recent interview with Gordon Thomson in Los Angeles, I am thoroughly impressed by his outstanding presence and eloquence. It was a revelation to discover how incredibly fine, versatile, and clever he is as an actor. Beyond his on-screen persona, there’s a palpable authenticity and depth that speaks to the real person behind the roles. Hollywood is known for its relentless challenges, and one can only imagine what he has endured and overcome in such a demanding industry. His resilience and adaptability shine through, not only in his diverse performances but also in his thoughtful and engaging dialogue off-screen. It’s clear that Gordon Thomson is not just a talented actor but a survivor and a genuine individual whose journey in Hollywood is as compelling as his career.
Beautiful said. Thank you so much for gracing our UA-cam channel with your presence.
That was one of the most insightful and explosive Hollywood interviews I have ever seen. I have rewound it endless times. What a fascinating, articulate man this is. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Harvey!
WOW thank you so much for letting me know how much you enjoyed it. That truly means the world to me
This is incredible. Watching now. Harvey, you so spoil us. God bless you!
What a beautiful thing to say! I live for feedback like this. Thank you so much!!
Enjoyed the interview with Gordon. Loved him as "Adam."
He’s a lovely guy. So glad you enjoyed this interview. Thanks for watching.
Waited all week to see Gordon on Dynasty. thanks so much!😊
@a.e.7988 thanks for watching!
Such a great actor. So beautiful too. Loved him as Adam.
Me too!

I wish you were referring to me but alas, I know you’re referring to Mr. Cassidy!!😜
I really enjoyed this interview
He really is a sweet guy
Tells it like it is
Thank you
Thank you so much for your continued support of our show 🙏❤️
When Adam first came on in season 3 of Dynasty he looked spectacular. The cheekbones, the strong chin, the sparkling eyes. I always thought of him as the most attractive man in Dynasty, way ahead of John James and others...
Me too! He was - and is - dreamy!
Two of the greatest, Gordon and Harvey ❤ Thank you.
I’m deeply honored. Thank you so much!❤️
I recently discovered your channel! Thank you for all the fine individuals you interview.

He was the Nellie Oleson of Dynasty
Yes! So true!!
Harvey....I LOVE YOU ❤
Awww thank you so much. I’m immensely grateful to have so many supportive and loyal viewers
Adam is the character you’d love to hate
Yes! So true! Like Alexis!
I remember him from his days on Ryan's Hope.
A great actor
Another fabulous one Harvey to watch on this snowy (hope the last time I have to say that for the season) Friday morning.........still amazed at your skill.
Gayle you are so wonderful. Thank you for your support!!❤️
I hadn't seen Gordon Thomson in a while, so it was delightful to see him being interviewed by the great Harvey Brownstone! I agree with almost all his views and opinions!!
I’m really glad you enjoyed this one Alan. Gordon is a straight shooter who tells it like it is. No baloney. I love that about him. I love exactly the same thing about you my dear friend.
Thank you for this interesting interview.
You are so very welcome. Thank you so much for watching. Please tell your friends about our show!🙏❤️
Hey I love Harvey too!!❤❤❤
And I am so immensely grateful to be so loved and supported by my wonderful viewers!! Thank you!
Listening to guys like him is a real breath of fresh air, I think. He's someone who really loves and has very well-honed his craft, and he comes off as quite genuine. Now, being where I lived, there was a lot of theater going on (yes, community, but, still...it was a stage, right?) so I did quite a bit over the years, and I miss it these days - not the theaters or most cast members, but just...doing it...just becoming a character. Truth be told, I did have a bug in my head to make up my own stuff, which is much more satisfying, so I switched to writing - whether it's received well or poorly, that's all right. I just love doing it. I may no longer act, but Thomson is one who can still inspire me in my own craft with his own.
Please keep writing and creating. The world needs your perspective, vision and talent. Thanks for watching our show!❤️
Was Philips ever charged with harassment? Needless to say, this does not appear on his Wikipedia page... I wonder if Gordon ever met Rock Hudson when he guested on Dynasty.
I can’t remember if I asked him about Rock Hudson but I definitely discussed him with Linda Evans when I interviewed her. Please don’t miss it!
Hey, Harvey, love your interview style! Is your Shapiro related to Ben? Just curious.
I have no idea.
Great interview, Harvey. I enjoy listening to Gordon Thomson talk about his experience on ‘Dynasty.’ I especially love the catty digs he gets in about various people or events along the way.
The one thing I wasn’t aware of was how he came out. I hadn’t realized it wasn’t of his choice. That was shitty. Unfortunately, he loves his career but if he wants the kind of roles he’s had, remaining in the closet really is the only way to achieve that.
And while he lists the things he had while in the closet, the one thing he didn’t mention was love. I find that sad. Unless he’s one of those who didn’t need love.
But the one name you mentioned that I haven’t thought of in a while was Terry Lester. I still remember him as the OG Jack Abbott on ‘Young & The Restless.’ I loved Terry in that role. Sadly, he’s an actor no longer with us. But one of the actresses Terry worked with on ‘Y&R’ is Deborah Adair, who would go on to play one of Adam’s love interests on ‘Dynasty.’ I would have loved to hear his thoughts on working with her…
But, again, great interview.
I don’t know if you’re ever able to arrange it, but would love an interview with Rupert Everett… keep up the great guests and interviews!
Thanks so much for your very interesting feedback. We’ve invited Rupert Everett on the show. So far no response. I guess he (or more probably, his publicist) doesn’t think I’m “in the league” to interview him. 😢
Here's the scene that Gordon Thomson was talking about - where Adam is staring intensely into the mirror after being told his real identity -

A wonderful piece of acting from a highly underrated actor. Lovely interview with Gordon Thomson, Mr Brownstone !!!
Thanks so much!
That was so nice of you to provide the link to that scene!
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 You're most welcome. Thank you SO much for all your amazing interviews !!
@mikediaz7371 ❤️❤️❤️
The casting couch attack story..terrible. All you want to do is act. He still has his integrity.
I love that about him. Integrity.
That’s pretty funny he’s worried about the orange person when his Prime Minister is like the worst ever and everybody can’t stand him
Yes his Prime Minister is intensely disliked, but he’s a million times more suitable as a leader than Orange
The previous posting about "dishonerable" came about because I was asking about Adam Carrington's integrity. This info got copied from my computer's memory, it's completely separate from the note I just wrote.
Thanks for the clarification
36:31 - I loved Thomson's comments on the Dynasty re-boot. Not only that, but I also love and agree with his comment on Eluzabeth Gilles (Fallon). I also loved her, thought she was the best and I also liked Nathalie Kelley as (what I've just found out) the first "Cristal". My God, I had no idea there were 3 Cristals. I'm sorry and glad I stopped watching. Fallon and Cristal were just as engaging as Fallon vs Krystle in the 80s. CW was lucky to have those two actresses in the roles.
Thanks for your interesting feedback about this great interview.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! DISHONORABLE
The term “dishonorable” is an adjective that
describes actions or behavior that bring shame or disgrace on someone or something. It implies a lack of integrity, morality, or respect for ethical standards. Here are some key points about the term:
Shameful Conduct: Dishonorable actions are those that are considered shameful and unworthy of respect1.
Lack of Integrity: It suggests a person’s actions are not guided by an ethical or honorable code of conduct1.
Moral Disrepute: Being dishonorable means engaging in behavior that is morally disreputable or unacceptable1.
For example, cheating in a competition, betraying a friend’s trust, or lying to gain advantage are all considered dishonorable behaviors because they violate societal norms of honesty and integrity. The term is often used to describe actions that are not just wrong, but also bring a sense of shame to the individual involved due to their unethical nature.
Thanks for this fulsome definition.
This is the first video I've seen of yours where I came away disliking the guest! LOL. He's definitely one of those high maintenance people. The exaggeration of his story about being hit on, decades ago, is telling. Either he's conflicted about his own sexuality or he's playing the prima donna. Something just doesn't ring true. I've heard other guests briefly reference their political beliefs in the manner of this is what or whom I'm FOR. He's the only guest who felt it necessary to BASH a political individual. I also thought it was interesting that as someone who identified as Canadian (unsure if he kept his Canadian citizenship) , he spent some time basically bashing America in various ways. So that rubbed me the wrong way! LOL. And in general, his demeanor is so high drama. And his calling out of various people or projects as "stupid" also gave me the impression that I was watching an emotionally immature person. I remember this actor from back in the day and actually liked him. Funny but what I liked about his acting I'm thinking I dislike about him in real life. To be fair, I've never been one who warmed up to DIVA like personalities. I don't like it in women and I don't like it in men. I think Mr. Thomson should have taken his cue from fellow Canadian Ruta Lee. In her interview with you, SHE comes across as a grownup. And while she touched on her political persuasion, it was super brief and only mentioned, in passing her pleasure at being part of her political persuasion. She did not feel the need to bash anyone. So yea, this was the first interview of yours I turned off before the end. What with all his hand waiving, and physicality and well the whole RUTH CHATTERTON of it all I had to turn it off and have a martini. YOU, however, were great as always. SO glad I discovered you! You run a tight ship and treat your guests like royalty...and you let them talk! LOL
Oh Chris I’m so sorry you were disappointed with this interview. I understand what you’re saying. Sending you my appreciation for your support of our show. PS I think I’m a bit of a diva myself!!!
