Christopher Atkins is an actor, writer, producer and entrepreneur whose very first movie, “The Blue Lagoon”, made him a global sensation, and earned him a Golden Globe Award nomination for Best New Male Star of the Year, as well as a nomination for a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor in a Major Motion Picture.
He’s appeared in many other movies including “The Pirate Movie”, “A Night in Heaven”, “Listen to Me”, “Die Watching”, “It’s my Party”, “Lima: Breaking the Silence”, “True Legends of the West”, “The Color of Water”, “Stained Glass Windows”, “Lake of Fire”, “Attraction to Paris”, and many more.
And on television, he played “Peter Richards”, the camp counsellor who had a torrid affair with “Sue Ellen Ewing”, in Season 7 of the blockbuster TV series, “Dallas”. He’s appeared in many other TV shows including “Hotel”, “Red Shoe Diaries”, “Suddenly Susan”, “CSI”, and “The Eleventh”, to name a few.

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.
