1. I enjoyed the documentary about him on the Paramount network. It was available to stream

for a while on their website, but uncertain if it still is.

3. The man could dance and so could his wife Lisa.

4. Both trained ballet dancers. Beautiful to see them dance together. He changed his career due to an

athletic injury. Then he had to stop movie dancing after “Dirty Dancing” as he said he just could not keep that kind of grueling stuff up and do the dancing justice.

5. I remember him on the Johnny Carson Show

He talked about all the injuries he would get as a dancer. He made it funny, but dancers, especially ballet dancers usually always have some injury, even when they’re actively on stage. Lots of hairline fractures in the feet, especially for the ballerinas, and pulled muscles and tendons are very common.

6. Actor, dancer, singer......and Arab horse breeder

I saw them once at an Arab show in Lexington. He was smoking a cigar.

7. I so loved that man

my girl crush started with North and South and he just got better and better. Roadhouse and Next of Kin are FANTASTIC


I used to say he could come teach me how to dirty dance any time

seems like it just happened anyway a wonderfully talented man left us a whole decade ago.
