BrandTalkk "another way to talk"

As a child growing up in Brooklyn, NY, Don Most wanted to be just like the entertainers in his favorite film, The Jolson Story. While in junior high school, Don committed to the professional study of acting, singing, and dancing. At fifteen, Don got his first big break as part of a teenage musical revue that played the famous “Borscht-Belt” circuit of New York’s Catskill Mountains.  

At age twenty, Don Most catapulted into the American zeitgeist when he won the role of Ralph Malph on the television pilot Happy Days. The role was originally a stock jock character. Director Jerry Paris and Executive Producer Garry Marshall were so charmed by Don’s charisma and natural comedic timing they reworked the part and transformed Ralph Malph into the beloved class comedian that won the hearts of America. 

 In the two decades following the success of Happy Days, Don continued to entertain and inspire audiences and earned critical acclaim in a long list of television and film roles. His film credits include EDtv, Crazy Mama, The Yankees, and The Great Buck Howard, starring John Malkovich. Don’s television roles include a recurring role in Glee, Men Of A Certain Age, Star Trek: Voyager, Sliders, Yes, Dear, The Crow, Sabrina, CHiPs, Baywatch, The Love Boat, Diagnosis: Murder, Century City, Dark Skies, and The Family Guy.

Jerry Castaldo, a Brooklyn born musical entertainer, grew up in the rough and tumble section of that borough called Bensonhurst. His apartment building was just down the street from the famed disco, The 2001 Odyssey, where the iconic film Saturday Night Fever was set.  

Since the early 90s, Jerry has been logging an average of about 300 shows a year, traveling primarily up and down the East Coast of the US, from the NYC tri-state area, through the Carolinas, and to Florida.  

Jerry’s live shows have him singing, playing a mean electric guitar, and kicking, leaping, sliding and spinning throughout an exciting show composed of songs ranging from the standards, to the solid gold pop hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s, as well as his own compositions. One of his original songs, “When Did you Stop Loving Me,” was even featured on The Howard Stern Show when they interviewed him about the making of the music video that accompanied that song. Also, while not a comedian in the classic sense of the word, Jerry’s onstage antics and short audience participation comedy segments always has his audiences smiling throughout his performances.  

Jerry has opened on the road for 60s stars such as million-selling recording artist Lou Christie (Lightnings Strikes’ Again), as well as being booked to open for many other name acts like Jay Black from Jay and the Americans, Maureen McGovern, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis. He’s also opened for comedians like film star Dom Deluise, and most notably Jerry Seinfeld, who he devotes an entire chapter to in his book.  

Jerry’s book is called, “Brooklyn NY: A Grim Retrospective, and can be found https://www.amazon.com/Brooklyn-NY-Gr...
