So a few days ago, Kiss Me, Kate was on TCM, so of course I watched it. Kiss Me, Kate features the fantastic Tommy Rall . I will never understand why Tommy Rall never got a popular as other dancers of that era (like Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire). Tommy Rall is so much more interesting to watch both as a dancer and as an actor. Alas, he will always remaining a supporting character in all the movies (like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Merry Andrew and of course Kiss Me, Kate). Oh poor Tommy Rall...

C'mon Frank!
It sounds like (from wikapedia) that he chose to have a stage career rather than film, and he sings OPERA, no less! I don't remember seeing him in Merry Andrew and he was in Funny Girl, too! Wonder what he's doing these days? [It didn't say he died yet ;) ]
He is one of he brothers in Merry Andrew. You may recognize his excellence in Micheal Kidd chorographed dance numbers.
