[edit] History
Lemmon was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of actress Cynthia Stone and actor Jack Lemmon.[1] Though an accomplished piano player who studied at the California Institute of the Arts, he is best known for his role as Martin "Bru" Brubaker in the TV-Series Thunder in Paradise, also featuring Hulk Hogan, and as Richard Phillips in the two television situation comedies, Duet (1987) and Open House (1989; in the second series, his supporting character became the lead while the first series' leads became supporting players). In 2006, he published A Twist of Lemmon, as a tribute to his father. It was his first book since he began his career as a writer.
He currently lives in Glastonbury, Connecticut. He has starred in two films with his legendary father Jack Lemmon: That's Life! in 1986 and Dad in 1989.
Lemmon is married to an actress named Gina Raymond and has three children: Sydney Noel, Johnathan, and Christopher, Jr., born in 1994.
