Cassidy was a teen idol in his own right. During his three seasons on The Hardy Boys, his recording career took off. His chart-topping hits included "Da Doo Ron Ron" and "That's Rock 'n' Roll,” and he experienced fandom similar to that of his older half-brother, David Cassidy, of The Patridge Family fame. The younger Cassidy took a step back from the spotlight in his early 20s and worked behind the scenes for decades as a TV writer and producer.
"I have a weird career," Cassidy told People magazine in 2023. "I had a very explosive first act and then at 21, went into hiding.”
At the time, Cassidy admitted that he “never thought” he’d return to performing again.
