His dad, Stephen Pinsent, was a paper mill worker-turned-cobbler who passed on when Gordon was just 10 years of age.
After his dad's demise, Gordon at 18 years old, chose to serve in the Illustrious Canadian Regiment for a long time.
He started his acting profession by performing with little, semi-beginner organizations of the day and got some work doing a radio show at the CBC.
In 1965, his large break came when he handled the nominal job of the CBC TV show about a hopeful legislator called Quentin Durgens, M.P.
At 21, Gordon wedded Irene Reid, the sister of a friend, yet before long found he wasn't prepared to settle down and they isolated their ways.
He and Irene welcomed two daughters, Barry and Beverly.
