I just found this out today and went Ewww!!! Can't find anymore pics of him in that roll. I love that musical and that movie, but I can't imagine a creepy guy playing that roll...LOL

His hair is straightened in this pic.

The dynamic of the triangle of Birdie, boyfriend, and fan is a very big change from the Broadway show. Realize that Bobby Rydell's part was played on Broadway by Michael J. Pollard and you KNOW it has to be different. Rydell, Pearson, and Ann-Margret sing and dance A Lot of Living To Do.

From his best known role in Bonnie and Clyde

1. That dimple in his chin is cute though! Right?

Did he pin the pin on? Or was he too shy?

2. I have no idea. I just stumbled on the review of Bye Bye Birdie on IMDB and saw that he was in the Bdwy production.

He always played creepy characters and in movie Hugo was played by Bobby Rydell. I can't imagine creepy Pollard in that role!

3. Pollard? In a more-or-less normal role?

Inconceivable!

4. Maybe it wasn't a "normal" role...LOL

5. Michael J. Fox adopted J as his middle initial as an homage to Michael J. Pollard.
