On television, you’ve seen him in dozens of shows, movies and miniseries including “The Story of David”, “The Moneychangers”, “East of Eden”, “Death Game”, “The Face of Alexandre Dumas: The Man in the Iron Mask”, and of course, in the early 90s, he starred in the popular children’s TV show, “Land of the Lost”.
He’s guest starred in many classic TV shows including “The Twilight Zone”, “That 70’s Show”, “NCIS”, “Grey’s Anatomy”, “Private Practice” and “The Hitchhiker”, for which he won a Cable Ace Award for Best Actor in a Dramatic Series.
And on the stage, he starred on Broadway in “Fifth of July”. He’s won many awards, including the Grand Jury Prize for Best Supporting Actor at the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival for his performance in “Mixed Blessings”. In 2022, he and his fellow cast members won a Golden Reel International Film Festival Award for their work in the highly acclaimed movie, “Chinaman’s Chance: America’s Other Slaves”, and in 2010, he received the German Independence Honorary Award at the Oldenberg International Film Festival.

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.
