CAREER CHANGE FOR LOCAL ACTOR

 
Jane Gilman

FATHER-SON combination. Actor Stuart Damon, right, is starting new career with his son Christopher.

Soap opera star Stuart Damon has cast himself in a new role: Realtor.

The Emmy-award winning actor is best known for his portrayal of Dr. Alan Quartermaine on the television program “General Hospital” for more 30 years. Now he is following in his son Christopher’s footsteps selling homes. The pair, known as The Damon Group, has joined Joyce Rey, executive director of Coldwell Banker Previews International in Beverly Hills.

“My son is also my best friend, and this was a logical opportunity for me,” said the Windsor Square resident.

The actor has been renovating homes for many years, and his largest project was an Elizabethan farmhouse he restored in England while pursuing an acting career. A 16th century home, 40 miles west of London, was in need of major repair. Among his projects was replacing damaged windows with French leaded glass and removing layers of color paint on the wood ceiling beams.

Originally from New York, Damon moved to England in the 1960s where his roles included secret agent Craig Stirling in the series, “The Champions.” He played magician Harry Houdini in a London musical, “Man of Magic,” and appeared in numerous television shows.

He returned to the U.S. with his wife, British actress Deidre Ottewill, settling in Los Angeles. In 1977 he began his role as Dr. Alan Quartermaine. The soap operas still call on him to perform. He had a guest role on “Days of Our Lives” in 2009, and will be on “As the World Turns” in August.

But he is excited about the career change. He received his real estate license several months ago and “passed the test the first time,” he admits proudly.
