Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Kent McCord, star of the hit television show “Adam-12”.
Kent McCord is a beloved actor who is forever remembered for his portrayal of “Officer Jim Reed” on the classic TV shows, “Adam-12” and “Dragnet 1967”. And he’s appeared in dozens of other TV shows including “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet”, “Galactica 1980”, “Unsub”, “SeaQuest 2032”, “Renegade”, “Silk Stockings”, “JAG” and “Farscape”. He’s also appeared in many feature films and TV movies including “The Young Warriors”, “The Outsider”, “Breakout”, “Airplane 2: The Sequel”, “Nashville Beat”, “Return of the Living Dead 3”, “Tides of War”, and many more.
And get this, Kent McCord is the only actor to have appeared in FIVE Elvis Presley movies. He was a member of the Screen Actors Guild National Board of Directors for 11 years, and in 1999 he received the Ralph Morgan Award in recognition of his devoted service to the membership. In the year 2000, he and his “Adam-12” co-star Martin Milner received the LAPD Historical Society’s Jack Webb Award for their support of the Los Angeles Police Department.
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.
