Michael Crawford, an English actor, comedian, and singer, has had a multifaceted career spanning film, television, and stage. Crawford's debut on Broadway was in Peter Shaffer's "Black Comedy" in 1967, and he further showcased his talents in the film adaptation of the musical "Hello, Dolly!" alongside Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau. His versatility was further demonstrated when he portrayed the White Rabbit in the film "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and starred in the musical "Billy" in 1974, which had 904 West End performances.
