Joe Hardy was played by Shaun Cassidy, who was already something of a teen heartthrob due to his already established music career. He continued to make music while working on TV, and certainly received a boost in the charts thanks to his role as Joe Hardy.
Throughout his music career, Cassidy scored 4 top 40 hits on the Billboard charts, managing to reach number 1 with his cover of The Crystals’ song ‘Da Doo Ron Ron’.
