After many years of summer stock, more than 60 television appearances, stints at Tamiment and Green Mansions, and 20 weeks as the production dancer at the Copacabana, he joined the original Broadway cast of Gypsy with Ethel Merman. He played the juvenile lead as Tulsa both in New York and on the national tour.
