My Take
Rex Smith strikes me as a genuine all-rounder from the golden age of teen idols. A Jacksonville native, he debuted in Broadway's Grease in 1978 and earned a 1981 Theatre World Award, proving the talent behind the heartthrob image. I am particularly intrigued that he was the first actor to play Daredevil in live action and headlined Street Hawk. What I value about him is the durability of a performer who could sing, act, and survive the fickle idol spotlight, carving out a long and varied career rather than fading after the screams died down.
