Born in Scotland, the son of a clergyman, Thomson attended schools in
Dundee and Edinburgh before the family emigrated in 1955 to the United
States. High School in Maine was followed by attendance at SMU in
Dallas, where off-campus jobs as diverse as managing the local
art-house cinema, the Fine Arts, hosting a classsical music show on
KCPA-FM and taking whatever jobs were on offer in Dallas film and
television studios set the pattern for a media career. Thomson spent
the sixties sybaritically in London, the seventies in Paris and moved
to Germany the beginning of the eighties. Cologne is home since 1992
and the locals have had get used to the sight of a gaunt six-footer
resplendent in Scottish national dress. Son Nicholas, born in 1966, and
daughter Jessica, born in 1988 claim that he manages wear the kilt
without looking ridiculous. Not all agree!
