I always say "I'm don't really consider myself a Broadway-loving gay except..." and his ibdb.com page is a possible continuation of that phrase.

I worked briefly with Dick on the revival of Cabaret at Studio 54, when he came in as a replacement for the role of Herr Schultz. He was every bit as warmhearted and outgoing in person as one would imagine from his equally moving performance. Bravo, Dick, break a leg, wherever you are.
