The show ran very successfully in Las Vegas. Unlike his father, Richard was not held accountable for the death of King Charles I. He also created a show about the Rat Pack, in which he occasionally made guest appearances playing Bobby Darin. This was the beginning of a short period of restoration of the Commonwealth of England but led to a state of anarchy that resulted in the return of the exiled King Charles II of England and the English Restoration. In 1996, he took over from Michael Crawford in the Las Vegas show, EFX. He gave it up with little hesitation, resigning or "abdicating" after a demand by the Rump Parliament. Cassidy has appeared in several Broadway musicals, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Blood Brothers. Richard was an unlikely successor, coming to prominence only because his two elder brothers both died before their father. Having previously sat in parliament, but only having joined the Council of State a year before his appointment as Protector, he had neither the political experience nor the interest required to maintain his position. He also made a couple of small films in the 1990s. Richard Cromwell's enemies called him Tumbledown Dick. In 1980, Cassidy had a cameo in the television movie, The Night the City Screamed. Richard Cromwell (October 4, 1626- July 12, 1712) was the third son of Oliver Cromwell, and was Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland, for little over eight months, from September 3, 1658 until May 25, 1659. The show was not a hit and was cancelled after one season. Due to the success of the episode, NBC created a prime time show based on it called David Cassidy: Man Under Cover.
