Christopher Stone Movies
Christopher Stone's movie career got off on the right foot with his portrayal of pandering rock singer Jay Rigney in 1970's Grasshopper. Later that same year, Stone was cast a "swinging" doctor Pooch Hardin on the short-lived TV series The Interns. While he never quite attained the upper reaches of stardom, Stone has been steadily employed in Hollywood for the past quarter century, most often as a TV-series regular on such weeklies as Spencer's Pilots (1976), Harper Valley PTA (1981) and Dallas (1984-85 season only, as Dave Stratton). Christopher Stone is married to actress Dee Wallace Stone, with whom he appeared in the theatrical features Cujo and The Howling, and in the 1989 syndicated TVer The New Lassie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide- 1974
