Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Iconic, Award-winning actor Bruce Davison.

Bruce Davison is an iconic, multi-award winning actor who’s brought us dozens of unforgettable performances in a stellar career that spans almost 6 decades.

He earned an Academy Award nomination and WON a Golden Globe Award and a whole slew of prestigious film festival awards for Best Supporting Actor for his quiet, finely nuanced, painfully tender performance as “David”, the lover and caretaker of a life partner ravaged by AIDS, in the groundbreaking film, “Longtime Companion”. His other movie credits include “Last Summer”, “Six Degrees of Separation”, “Abnormal Attraction”, “The Crucible”, “Apt Pupil”, “X-Men”, “X-2”, “Runaway Jury”, “Captors”, “Short Cuts”, for which he and his fellow cast members won a Golden Globe Special Award AND a Venice Film Festival Award for their work as an ensemble, and “Displacement”, for which he won a Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival Award for Best Supporting Actor. And of course, we all remember him from the cult classic horror film “Willard”, in which he bonded notoriously with a herd of rats.

On television, you’ve seen him in hundreds of shows including “Harry and the Hendersons”, “Hunter”, “The Practice”, “Seinfeld”, “Knight Rider”, “Ghost Whisperer”, “Mozart in the Jungle”, “Designated Survivor”, “The Fosters”, “1923”, “Bosch Legacy”, and “Glow and Darkness”. And who can ever forget him as the villainous Senator on “Ozark” and the wise judge on “Lincoln Lawyer”? And he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his performance in “Touched By an Angel”.

On the stage, Bruce Davison starred on Broadway in "Tiger at the Gates", “The Elephant Man” and “The Glass Menagerie”, as well as at the Lincoln Center in the cast of "King Lear." And he portrayed Clarence in "Richard III" at the New York Shakespeare Festival. He’s also starred onstage in "The Skin of Our Teeth," "The Little Foxes", "A Life in the Theatre," “Love Letters”, “How I Learned to Drive” and “Streamers”, for which he won the Los Angeles Drama Critics Award. He received a second Los Angeles Drama Critics Award for his performance in the multi-award winning play "The Normal Heart".

Bruce Davison is also an Emmy nominated director for his work on the 2001 TV movie, “Off Season”. In 2012 he received an Honorary Satellite Award, and in 2018 he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Action on Film 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.
