Acting career
Damon's appearance in the 1965 version of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella starring Lesley Ann Warren opened a long career in television soap opera. He appeared in the Broadway musical Do I Hear a Waltz? Richard Rodgers (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) wrote a book. He had appeared in an Off-Broadway revival of The Boys From Syracuse with music by Rodgers and lyrics by Lorenz Hart. Damon appears on these musicals' cast albums, as well as the 1960 hit Irma La Douce.
Damon appeared in the hit West End musical Charlie Girl with Anna Neagle in 1965 and was chosen to appear as American secret agent Craig Stirling in the ITC series The Champions, alongside British actors Alexandra Bastedo and William Gaunt. He also appeared alongside Roger Moore in an episode of The Saint, which has been credited as the inspiration for the upcoming series The Persuaders! He appeared in The BBC TV version of The £1,000,000 Bank Note in 1968 and played Henry Adams in the leading role. In a lavishly staged London musical called Man of Magic, Damon also played magician Harry Houdini. Stuart 'Champion' Damon, a 1970s Damon, was released on Reflection records REF L7, which failed to chart.
He appeared alongside Gene Barry and Catherine Schell in the 1970s on the television show The Adventurer, appearing in two episodes for a brief period. Damon later talked openly about the fact that Barry did not want him in the series due to his height: he soared over the shorter Barry. He returned to the United States after appearing in many other British television series, including Thriller, The New Avengers, and Children's series The Adventures of Black Beauty, where he played a hypnotist.
Dr. Alan Quartermaine Sr., his first known American role, appeared on GM in 1977. He also appeared on the short-lived GH spin-off Port Charles (1997-2003).
Damon received the Best Supporting Actor Emmy in 1999 for his portrayal of Alan, a painkiller addicted to the painkiller hydrocodone. In 2005, Damon was reunited with Alexandra Bastedo and William Gaunt for the first time in almost 40 years to provide audio commentary on a DVD release of The Champions. Damon had been fired from GE Hospital by Jill Farren Phelps, according to Anne Sweeney and Brian Frons' orders, and his last air date was scheduled for February 26, 2007. The reason for his deposition was not revealed. On February 5, the final scene's taping took place, coincidentally the 70th birthday of Damon. In August, fellow actors on GM shared how upset they were over Damon's dismissal, with Damon's on-show wife Leslie Charleson saying, "This is the 30th anniversary for the two of us." The timing has left me very worried about the way soaps are made, the complete disregard for history, and the total disregard for veterans.'
Despite the death of the character, Damon stayed on the show, playing Alan Quartermaine's ghost and inflicting his sister Tracy about Alan's death. He stayed with the show until December 23, 2008, when Alan appeared on Monica on Christmas to tell her that he loved her.
Damon appeared on As the World Turns as Janet and Teri Ciccone's "Uncle" Ralph Manzo, the businessman most likely involved with the gang, on September 18, 2009. He started the show on October 30, 2009, but returned on August 23-25, 2010. On Days of Our Lives, Damon appeared as Governor Jim Ford from March 19 to May 25, 2010.
Damon returned to GE for two episodes (August 26, 2011 and August 29, 2011), in which Alan appears in a fantasy sequence based on Monica's. After son Jason's disappearance, he returned in November 2012 as a ghost. He appeared alongside Rick Webber (Chris Robinson) and Emily Quartermaine (Natalia Livingston) in a hallucination shared by Tracy and Monica for the show's 50th anniversary episode, which aired on April 2, 2013.
