Christopher Stone (born Thomas Edward Bourassa; October 4, 1940 – October 20, 1995)[1] was an American actor.
Early life
Stone was born Thomas Edward Bourassa in Manchester, New Hampshire.[citation needed]
Career
He appeared in films and on television from the early 1970s until his death in 1995. Stone and his wife, Dee Wallace, both appeared together in a number of films including the classic horror films The Howling (1981) and Cujo (1983).[2][3] They shared top billing in the family series The New Lassie (1989), in which he sometimes served as director.[4]
Stone guest-starred in the Galactica 1980 episode "Galactica Discovers Earth", and in the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century episode "Space Vampire".
He played Col. Marty Vidor, alias "Bo-Dai Thung", in the 1984 Airwolf episode "And They Are Us".[5] In 1983, he guest-starred in The Dukes Of Hazzard sixth-season episode, Brotherly Love, as crooked gambler Tex Tompkins.
Other television credits include guest roles in series such as Fantasy Island, as Riptide (second-season episode "Catch of the Day" (1984)) and The A-Team (third-season episode "Incident at Crystal Lake" (1985)).[6] He also was a guest star on The Bionic Woman in a first-season episode: "Fly Jaime"; and then became Jaime Sommers' love interest in four episodes: "The Pyramid", "The Antidote", "Sanctuary Earth" and "On the Run"; in the third season.[7]
Stone and his wife Dee Wallace also appeared together in Cujo (1983), Legend of the White Horse (1987), and in Runaway Daughters (1994), a made-for-TV movie that was a remake of the 1950s B movie.[8]
Personal life
Stone dated actress Susan Tolsky for five years after meeting in the late 1960s.[9] Stone's first two wives were: Grethe Jepsen (September 11, 1965 - January 1968--divorced); Carole Stone (December 19, 1975--divorced on an unknown date). He and Carole appeared on five episodes of "Tattletales" in June, 1976.

Stone died of a heart attack on October 20, 1995.[10]
