You're right. Thanks for the correction. Cassidy won the Tony for She Loves Me. However, he was only Emmy-nominated for He & She. He was also Tony-nominated for Fade Out -- Fade In.
There was definitely a sameness to many of his Broadway roles. I assume he was unavoidably typecast, the roles were good, he needed the work and took them. However, TV is a totally different medium. I think it is understandable why he rejected the role of Ted Baxter after having created the role of Oscar North. |
