Gordon Currie was born in Vancouver, Canada to American parents. One of his first or breakthrough roles was playing Officer Palone on "21 Jump Street" (1987).

The two lived for over a year off Melrose Ave. near the Improv in a two bedroom flat.

He's lived and worked in both Los Angeles and New York for a number of years, working in Canada and the U.S.A..
