Pop Culture, Television

John McCook is a highly popular veteran actor who first gained prominence for his performance as “Lance Prentiss” in “The Young and the Restless”, for which he won a Soapy Award in 1977 for Most Exciting New Actor. And in 1987, he created the role of “Eric Forrester” in “The Bold and the Beautiful”.

In fact, he and his fellow cast member Kelly Lang, who plays “Brooke Logan”, are the only two cast members of “The Bold and the Beautiful” who have remained on the show from the very beginning, for 37 years so far. For his groundbreaking work on that show, John McCook has earned 5 Daytime Emmy Award nominations, WINNING an Emmy Award in 2022 for Outstanding Performance by a Lead Actor in a Drama series, as well as a Soap Hub Award. He’s also received 2 Soap Opera Digest Award nominations, and an Online Film and Television Association Award nomination.

Over the years since 1993, John McCook has returned from time to time to “The Young and the Restless” in the role of “Eric Forrester”. But in addition to his work in soap operas, our guest has appeared in dozens of other TV shows including “Dragnet”, “Too Close for Comfort”, “Three’s Company”, “Hart to Hart”, “Dynasty”, “Magnum P.I.”, “Alice”, “Hill Street Blues”, “LA Law”, “Newhart”, and many more.

He’s also appeared in some great TV movies and miniseries including “Once Upon a Brothers Grimm”, “Tourist”, “Robert Kennedy and His Times”, “Indie”, “Cathedral Canyon”, “David’s Dinosaur” and “Candy Coated Christmas”.

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.
