Biography:

After beefing up his bank account as a sales clerk (handling everything from men's clothing to farm machinery), Canadian actor Len Cariou began his formal theatrical training at the {~Stratford Shakespeare Festival} and the {~Tyrone Guthrie Theatre}. Cariou's first professional appearance was in the chorus of the Canadian company of {+Damn Yankees}.

On Broadway from 1968, Cariou was prominently featured in such long-running musicals as {+Applause} and {+A Little Night Music}. In 1972, he was appointed artistic director of his old stomping grounds, the {~Tyrone Guthrie}; and in 1979 he won a Tony award for his portrayal of the title character in the Stephen Sondheim musical drama {+Sweeney Todd}.

His film roles include Frederick in A Little Night Music (1978) and Nick Callan in The Four Seasons (1981). On television, Len Cariou was perhaps never busier than during the 1993-1994 season, when he appeared in five made-for-TV movies, including Charles Bronson's remake of The Sea Wolf.
