Personal Quote:

[on his performance as "Riff" in West Side Story] Life is so strange. "West Side Story" was one of the high points of my career. Yet, when I first saw it, I was really disappointed in how I came off. Since then, Fred Astaire has told me how much he admired my dancing in it. Now I see it very differently. See more »

Trivia:

His standout dance sequence while performing the role of Eric in The Fastest Gun Alive duplicated some of his dance moves from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and, in fact, added some athletics that went beyond those original moves. See more »

Trademark:
