Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Steve Guttenberg, Award Winning Actor, Author, “Time to Thank: Caregiving for My Hero”.
Steve Guttenberg is a beloved and multi-award winning actor, producer, director and author who’s brought dozens of memorable performances in classic movies including “The Boys From Brazil”, “Diner”, “Cocoon”, “Short Circuit”, “Bedroom Window”, “Surrender”, “Three Men and a Baby”, “Roe v. Wade” and of course, the four great “Police Academy” movies.
He also wrote, directed, produced and starred in “PS Your Cat is Dead”. For his performance in “A Novel Romance”, he won a Best Actor Award from the New York International Independent Film and Video Festival.
On TV you’ve seen him in many shows and movies including “To Race the Wind”, “Miracle on Ice”, “The Day After”, “Veronica Mars”, “Law and Order: Criminal Intent”, “Sons of Liberty”, “Ballers”, “The Goldbergs” and “Party Down”, for which he was nominated for a Gold Derby Award for Best Guest Comedy Actor. And of course, we all remember his amazing performances on Season 6 of “Dancing with the Stars”.
On the stage, he starred in “The Boys Next Door” in London’s West End, and “Prelude to a Kiss” and “Honeymoon Motel” on Broadway, as well as “Furthest From The Sun”, “Henry the 4th” and numerous other theatrical productions. He earned a Daytime Emmy Award nomination for producing an episode of the CBS Schoolbreak Special called “Gangs”. And in 2011, he received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
And if all of that weren’t enough, Steve Guttenberg is also a best-selling author. His first book, “The Guttenberg Bible”, is a comedic account of his first 10 years in the film industry. He then wrote a terrific children’s book called “The Kids from DISCO”, and on May 21, his brand new book, entitled, “Time to Thank: Caregiving for my Hero”, will be released. The book is a heartwarming and at times heart wrenching memoir of Steve’s unbreakable bond with his wise, loving and devoted father – his hero – as he chronicles his newfound role as a caregiver in his father’s final years, reflecting on their eventful life together, and the enduring impact of their extraordinarily close relationship. Steve Guttenberg is also a renowned philanthropist.
He started the Guttenhouse Project, which provides housing in Los Angeles for foster care youth when they turn 18. He also organized a campaign to provide glasses for children whose families cannot afford vision care. In fact, the Entertainment Industry Foundation selected him to be Ambassador for Children’s Issues, because of his work on behalf of children and the homeless. In addition, he has served as an honorary board member of the Lymphatic Education & Research Network. And he’s also a passionate advocate for animal welfare, through his work with the Fun Paw Care organization. In 2008, he received the Tony Randall Lifetime Achievement Award for his work in the entertainment industry, as well as his community service.
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.
