Gordon is a
member of the Screen Actor's Guild.
He has been involved in the entertainment industry all of his adult life.
Gordon loves
people. It
shows in everything he does.
He always has a smile on his face and is always finds something positive
in everyone and everything.
I modeled the character "Jareth DeFranco" very much directly from
Gordon's personality as well as his looks.
This is the only character in Immortal Temptation where this is
the case. It
started out with his "look", just like all the other prototypes.
Slowly, as the character "Jareth" emerged, I realized I was
writing what could well be described as Gordon's "alter ego".
Gordon had the exact physical image I wanted for Jareth.
Jareth wasn't supposed to be a young man, but he was supposed to be
attractive. He
also needed to be in great physical shape since his occupation as a mortal was a
strong arm for the mob.
Gordon, at 5'10" and an extremely fit 175 pounds was perfect.
He also had the brown hair and eyes, which were two other features I
pictured when I thought of Jareth.
Jareth loves his "people" and life in general.
He would fight to the death for a cause he believes in.
He is poised and self confident.
He is comfortable in any situation.
These things also describe Gordon.
Gordon has had acting experience in films, television, commercials, and stage.
He has been featured in "American Graffiti", "More
American Graffiti", and "The Laughing Policemen" in film.
He was featured on "The Streets of San Francisco", "Four
Segments Hotel", and "Partners in Crime" on television.
He has been in commercials for; Gillette, Miller Beer, Pants for Less,
and Louisiana Power and Light Supply.
On stage, he has been featured in "The Cheers Ain't Always for the
Winner" and "Stories of Life".
Gordon has also done modeling for the "Sacramento Bee",
"Louisiana Power and Light Supply", and "Central American Lover's
Card".
Just to round out "Mr. All American Nice Guy", Gordon is a fitness
buff. He
has been a Golden Gloves boxer and a cross country runner.
He still runs and keeps himself in excellent shape. That tells you a little bit about Jareth . . . um, I mean Gordon! :o) He's a wonderful addition to the world of the immortals! |
