Stamos also has established a strong stage presence, beginning with his Broadway debut in "How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying" as "J. Pierrepont Finch." Other Broadway credits include Gore Vidal's Tony Award-nominated political play, "The Best Man," with James Earl Jones; Roundabout Theatre Company's "Bye Bye Birdie"; and the Tony Award-winning musicals "Nine" and "Cabaret."

A gifted drummer, singer and musician, Stamos occasionally tours with the legendary band the Beach Boys, of which he's been a part for 30 years.
