Biography
Goodman Theatre graduate Ted Wass made his Broadway bow in the 1976 production
Grease. Wass later became a lightweight leading man in films; his performances were generally appealing and effective, except when he was required to step into the late
Peter Sellers' shoes in
Curse of the Pink Panther (1983). His TV credits include the roles of Danny Dallas in
Soap (1977-81) and leading character Dr. Steven Ratajkowski in
Men (1989). Perhaps Ted Wass' best-known TV assignment was the part of Nick Russo, father of star Mayim Bialik, in the popular sitcom
Blossom (1991-95). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
