- Shaun Cassidy is an American singer, actor, writer and producer. He has created and/or produced a number of television series including "American Gothic" (produced with Sam Raimi), "Roar" (starring a then unknown Heath Ledger), "Cold Case," "Cover Me," "The Agency," "Invasion," and "Emerald City." Cassidy wrote and executive produced "Hysteria" for Amazon and serves as executive producer and writer for "New Amsterdam" on NBC.
Cassidy grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While still in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums, numerous top ten hits, and sold-out concerts at every major arena in the country including Houston's Astrodome and New York's Madison Square Garden. Almost concurrently, Cassidy starred in the ABC television series "The Hardy Boys Mysteries." Later, while appearing on Broadway in the hit musical drama "Blood Brothers," he wrote his first television pilot, "American Gothic." When the show debuted, The New York Times called it "The most original new show of the season." In 2020, Cassidy took his one man show "The Magic of a Midnight Sky" to the stage, playing to SRO crowds nationwide, his first live music performance in almost forty years.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Shaun Cassidy Productions

- Son of actress Shirley Jones and actor Jack Cassidy.
- Signed his first autograph at age 5. The reason? For being Shirley Jones' son.
- His song "Da Do Ron Ron" reached #17 on the German charts in April of 1977. This was the same year David Cassidy's song Gettin' It On The Street reached #12 on the same exact chart. "Da Do Ron Ron" reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 on the Cash Box Top 100, and #1 on RPM Magazine's Canada Top Singles.
- He and his wife, Tracey Lynne Turner, welcomed the arrivals of first son, Caleb Turner Cassidy, on March 3, 2005 and a second son, Roan Howard Cassidy, on September 23, 2006.
- I've created a lot of cult hits which is code for cancelled quickly. People come up to me about American Gothic, Invasion and Roar. Some people know and really love those shows and if you go to Comic-con, there's an audience for them but in the world at large those shows are little drops in a creative bucket.
