Won Broadway's 1967 Tony Award as Best Supporting or Featured Actor (Musical) for originating the role of the Emcee in "Cabaret," a role he recreated in an Oscar-winning performance in the film version of the same name, _Cabaret (1972)_ (qv). He also earned three Tony nominations as Best Actor (Musical): in 1969 for the title role of 'George M. Cohan' (qv) in "George M!," in 1975 for "Goodtime Charley," and in 1979 for "The Grand Tour."

Father-in-law of 'Clark Gregg' (qv).
Son of 'Mickey Katz' (qv)
Made his film debut in _About Face (1952)_ (qv).
Sang "Razzle-Dazzle," from the musical Chicago, when he hosted _"The Muppet Show" (1976)_ (qv). His daughter 'Jennifer Grey' (qv) appeared in _Dirty Dancing (1987)_ (qv) with 'Jerry Orbach' (qv), who played Billy Flynn in Chicago and sang that very song.
