I had no idea that Jeff Fahey had ever been in any stage plays (or that he could sing) until I read it just recently. I've always liked him. Anyone ever seen him in anything?

I worked with him. He was with the Joffrey, for about 3 years or so.

Yes. Very nice, very talented. Have no idea what he's up to now. The one thing about being in show business, is that you work with so many people over the years, and it is impossible to keep up with them all. I find that sort of sad. Because, at the time, you're like family, then, with very few exceptions, you lose touch. Of course, I'm no longer in the business, and have a completely different circle of friends.

He was in the Joffrey School, not the company.

Was this before he went into the movies? Would he have had a future as a dancer?

It was before he was in the movies.
I think he could have danced.
I'd say he's quite lucky he didn't.

He might have been a terrific Pal Joey!
