A versatile actor and singer, Jack Cassidy made his Broadway debut at the age of 17 in the 1943 Cole Porter-Ethel Merman hit musical SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS, before making his name in the stylish revue SMALL WONDER in 1948. He was in the short-lived ALIVE AND KICKING in 1950, and two years later took over the part of Seabee Richard West in the epic SOUTH PACIFIC. Cassidy's first leading role came in 1952 in WISH YOU WERE HERE. After working in Europe, he returned to Broadway in 1963 with the charming SHE LOVES ME which won him a Tony in 1964. Cassidy also appeared in a number of films, most notably as John Barrymore in W.C. FIELDS AND ME. Wikipedia
