Biography:Like his older half-brother, "David Cassidy", big-eyed, boyish actor/singer "Shaun Cassidy" became one of the big teen idols of the 1970s. The son of actors "Jack Cassidy" and "Shirley Jones", he became a favorite pin-up boy of preadolescent girls after the release of his first hit single "Morning Girl." In 1977, he landed the co-lead in the popular television mystery series "The Hardy Boys Mysteries" (1977). The show lasted a season, and "Cassidy" continued on with his recording career -- which ended with the '70s -- while making only the occasional television appearance until he played the lead in another short-lived television series "Breaking Away" (1980-1981).

In 1995, "Cassidy" reappeared on television as the producer of the critically acclaimed but seldom-watched horror series... Full Biography
