Christopher Bowman

'Christopher Nicol Kestnbaum states that Bowman would instead deliberately overplay facial expressions and emotional gestures in his programs, "thus drawing attention to the constructedness of the emotions he was conveying",

Bowman retired from competitive skating after the 1992 World Championships and toured with Ice Capades the following year. He left the tour in 1993 when Dorothy Hamill purchased Ice Capades. For some years thereafter, Bowman worked as a skating coach, first in Massachusetts and then in the Detroit area, where he lived from 1995 until 2007, and as a skating commentator. Prior to his death, he had returned to southern California to make a comeback in acting, with a role as an assistant coach in Down and Distance''.
