Biography

Alan Thicke became the sitcom-dad ideal of Generation X while playing the father on the 1980s family sitcom "Growing Pains" (ABC 1985-1992), even as, with much less fanfare, he achieved unqualified Renaissance Man status in American and Canadian television. A household name in his native Canada, Thicke gained a foothold in the U.S. as a comedy writer, cutting his teeth in Hollywood writing for and producing such influential fare as "Fernwood 2-Night" (syndicated, 1977) and "The Richard Pryor Show" (NBC, 1977), as well as producing pop music TV specials.
