Career

Thor began his career in 1984, and appeared in the 1991 films Hook and Curly Sue. He is best known for playing Lewis Dodgson in the 1993 film Jurassic Park. Thor had originally auditioned for the role of Ian Malcolm. While his character was a major part of the sequel novel, The Lost World, the character was left out of the film adaptation.

Thor also had guest roles in several television series such as Tanner '88, Freddy's Nightmares, China Beach, Matlock, Mann & Machine, Cheers, SeaQuest DSV and The Net. He also had a recurring role as Narik in two episodes of the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Next Generation. He also worked as an acting coach in Los Angeles, where he and his wife Alice Carter were co-owners of Carter Thor Studio.

Personal life

Thor is married to Alice Carter. Together, they have a son Dylan-Ace Carter Thor and a daughter London Thor.

Child sexual misconduct conviction

On June 4, 2014, Thor was charged with the 2009 sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office. The Los Angeles District Attorney's office initially filed 14 counts against Thor, including kidnapping and sexual assault against a minor. Thor pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Thor's trial began on August 17, 2015, by which time 13 of the charges against him had been dropped. The only remaining charge was performing a lewd act on a minor. The jury began deliberations on August 25, returning a guilty verdict the following day. After several delays, including Thor appointing a new defense attorney, he was eventually sentenced to six years in state prison on April 27, 2016. He was released from prison in June 2019.
