Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Patrick Cassidy, Broadway, Movie & TV Star, Son of Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy.
Patrick Cassidy is a popular actor and singer who’s been dazzling the world of stage and screen with his remarkable talent, charisma and versatility for over 4 decades.
His talent comes as no surprise, given that he is a member of Hollywood royalty. He’s the son of the beloved and legendary entertainers Jack Cassidy and Shirley Jones.
Patrick Cassidy’s body of work in musical theatre is incredibly impressive. On Broadway, he starred in “The Pirates of Penzance”, “Annie Get Your Gun”, “Aida”, “42nd Street” and “Leader of the Pack”, which earned him a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor. He’s also starred in national tours of some of those shows I just mentioned, and in fact he won the National Broadway Theatre Award for Best Actor in a Touring Musical for his performance in “Aida”, before playing the role on Broadway.
He originated the role of “The Balladeer” in the Off-Broadway production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Assassins”. He has starred in numerous other theatrical productions including “The Sound of Music”, “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”, “The Robber Bridegroom”, “Company”, and “The Threepenny Opera”, for which he was nominated for the Garland Award for Best Actor. On the big screen, he’s appeared in “Off the Wall”, “Nickel Mountain”, “Fever Pitch”, “Love at Stake”, “Man of Her Dreams”, “A One Time Thing”, and of course, the brilliant, groundbreaking Oscar-nominated movie, “Longtime Companion”. On television, you’ve seen him in many movies, TV series and miniseries including: “Midnight Offerings”, “Angel Dusted”, “Dress Gray”, “Dirty Dancing”, “Napoleon & Josephine”, “Hitler’s Daughter”, “Ruby & The Rockits” and many more.
Patrick Cassidy is also the artistic director of the renowned Studio Tenn Theatre Company in Franklin, Tennessee.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
