Trivia

Graduated from Montreal's McGill University with honors

His father died circa 1963.

At first, he wanted to work in architecture or law, he made up his mind very late on to be an actor.

He sued Aaron Spelling Productions in the early '90s for not telling him early enough about the movie Dynasty: The Reunion (1991) (TV) (Gordon starred in its prequel: "Dynasty" (1981)). The movie team called him only five days before he was to do his first scenes for "Santa Barbara" (1984) (which he was a member of the cast of at the time) so the Santa Barbara crew couldn't give him time off to be in the movie because the schedules didn't match.

"I think we all have a dark side to us. I find that I can't trust sunny-natured people, people who are constantly sunny. I think that's major denial."
