Jack Lemmon and Cynthia Stone. Slightly handsomer than his dad, but possessed of the same distinctive high-pitched laugh, Lemmon began his own film career in 1976. The bulk of his film work has been in comedies, ranging from the witty
Seems Like Old Times (1979) to the half-witty The Happy Hooker Goes Hollywood (1980). Chris Lemmon has been most active on series television: he went the raunchy-teen route as "Checko" on the frathouse sitcom
Brothers and Sister (1979), was featured as Jeff Cameron on Knot's Landing, posed as a "roving reporter" on the daytime game show
Fantasy (1982), played neurotic yuppie Richard Phillips on Fox's
Duet (1987) and its spin-off

Hulk Hogan on the syndicated
Thunder in Paradise (1994). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
