Jameson Parker

Jameson Parker is best known for his role as A.J. Simon on Simon & Simon (1981), which ran on CBS for eight seasons. He was born in Baltimore and saw most of the capitals of Europe during his father's foreign service career. Young Parker also managed to see an inordinate number of boarding schools, claiming to have attended 10 in 13 years, and being bounced out of two. During a recuperative year off, he acted and worked in production at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. and he returned to finish his Beloit degree in theater arts in 1972. After graduation, he moved to New York, getting his first big break in a commercial for a breath mint. It helped him to get his role on the NBC soap Somerset (1970), which led to a two year part on ABC's One Life to Live (1968). He moved to LA in 1980. He loves camping and hunting.
