Harry Connick Jr.

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

Casting directors tend to sit around and lament, "What ever happened to all the leading men?" Well, you know Connick can sing. Plus, he's got the chiseled-jaw-broad-shoulders thing happening. As he proved in the 2006 revival of The Pajama Game, he can pull off a few Fosse-style dance steps without looking like a dork. And if you throw a piano into the mix—and why wouldn't you when you have Harry Connick Jr.?—he'll outplay the orchestra. Plus, Connick is the only actor we know who can make it through a two-and-a-half-hour musical performance with his architectontic pompadour perfectly intact.
