Trivia

  • Composed and sang both theme songs to Arnold et Willy (1978).
  • Passed away while playing hockey with his son.
  • His son Robin Thicke is a singer/songwriter and has written songs for artists such as Marc Anthony, Christina Aguilera, Mya, Brian McKnight & P!nk, among others.
  • Has called himself "the affordable Shatner" as much of his later career consists of lucrative personal appearance (hosting parades, beauty pageants, etc.) declined by his fellow Canadian actor William Shatner.
  • Before he was a successful actor and a game show host, he (alongside with his first wife Gloria Loring) used to work with Charlotte Rae, as a songwriter on both sitcoms, which she starred in: Arnold et Willy (1978) and Drôle de vie (1979).

Quotes

  • [Of Tracey Gold's family]: The Gold family has always been a role model. Harry and Bonnie Gold make the Seavers look like the Manson family.
  • I thought it was a great departure for me. It's quite the opposite of most of the things I've done.
  • [on analyzing Ozzy Osbourne about The Family Dog]: Seaver, who was a psychiatrist, would have reprimanded his children. It's the child's role in the family to take care of the dog.
  • [on his second rocky marriage]: It's not a fait accomplice, but the signs are pointing in the direction of a failed marriage. I think this is a disgrace. We had no problems that, in my opinion, mature, committed adults shouldn't be able to solve.
  • [Who got married a third time in 2005]: I'll be on my third honeymoon, so I'm more of an authority than I care to be.
