Brian Thompson

Biography

Brian Earl Thompson was born on August 28, 1959 in Ellensburg, Washington.

Raised on the Columbia River in Longview, he learned the value of academics and athletics, as the son of two teachers and the second of six siblings.

His interest in acting was first sparked during his senior year of high school with the role of the Russian ballet instructor, Boris Kolenkhov, in the comedy "You Can't Take it With You".

Under the pretense of attending Central Washington University to play football and study business management, he quietly auditioned for every available play, treading the boards for a dozen school productions, from musicals and operas to the more lighthearted fare of 'Neil Simon , piano and sushi rolling.

He currently resides at home with his son Jordan and daughter Daphne.
