Gordon Thomson (born March 2 or 3, 1945)〔(Profile ), godspell.ca; accessed June 7, 2015.〕〔(Profile ), UltimateDynasty.net; accessed June 7, 2015.〕 is a Canadian actor. His most prominent role was in the American prime-time soap opera ''Dynasty'' playing Adam Carrington. Thomson began acting while studying English at McGill University in Montreal. One of his earliest roles was "Sir Robin the Brave" in the 1971 version of the Muppets' ''The Frog Prince''. He went on to appear in daytime soap operas. His first main role was as Michael Stewart, Jr. on the Canadian television serial ''High Hopes'' in 1978. He then appeared in the now defunct ABC daytime soap opera ''Ryan's Hope'' from 1981-82.〔 Having received acclaim for stage performances in productions as diverse as ''Love's Labours Lost'', ''Godspell'' and Joe Orton's ''Loot'', he advanced to the ABC Talent Development Program, which led to ''Dynastys producer Aaron Spelling personally casting the Canadian as Adam Carrington in the show. Thomson debuted in ''Dynasty'' in 1982 and remained with the series until its cancellation in 1989. During the 1985-86 season, Thomson also appeared in three episodes of the ''Dynasty'' spin-off, ''The Colbys''.〔 After ''Dynasty'' ended, Thomson returned to daytime soaps. In 1990, he joined the now defunct series ''Santa Barbara'' (as the third actor to portray the character Mason Capwell). However, his commitment to ''Santa Barbara'' left him unable to reprise his role as Adam Carrington in the TV mini-series ''Dynasty: The Reunion'' in 1991 (he was subsequently replaced by British actor Robin Sachs). Thomson had roles on ''The Young and the Restless'', ''Passions'', the now defunct ''Sunset Beach'', and in 2009 he appeared on ''Days of Our Lives''. Thomson has appeared in eight different series produced by Aaron Spelling; ''Dynasty, Fantasy Island, Finder of Lost Loves, Glitter, The Love Boat, The Colbys, Beverly Hills, 90210'' and ''Sunset Beach''. He guest-starred in a variety of other series such as ''Murder She Wrote'', ''Spider-Man'', ''The Nanny'', and ''Silk Stalkings''.〔 In recent years, Thomson has reunited with his ''Dynasty'' co-stars in two non-fiction television specials; ''After Dynasty'' (part of the UK's ''After They Were Famous'' series) in 2002, and ''Dynasty Reunion: Catfights and Caviar'' in 2006. That same year, he had small roles in the feature films ''Poseidon'' (a remake of ''The Poseidon Adventure''), and the Academy Award-nominated ''Little Miss Sunshine''. From 2011, to 2014, Thomson appeared on the soap opera web series ''DeVanity'', and in 2015 began starring as Maxmillian Winterthorne in the soap opera web series ''Winterthorne''. Thomson's television work included a spell as guest host for Britain's ITV network on their then breakfast show ''Good Morning Britain'', for which he covered celebrity events such as Wimbledon and Royal Ascot.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon Thomson (actor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
