Dale, Jim [né James Smith] (b. 1935), actor. The lithe, lanky actor, who at one time studied ballet, was born in England, where he made his debut in 1951. Stints at the National Theatre and the Young Vic followed before he first appeared in America in the Young Vic mountings of The Taming of the Shrew and Scapino in 1974, winning him wide recognition in the latter. Dale's memorable performances include the title role in the musical Barnum (1980), the troubled father Bri in a 1985 revival of Joe Egg, a long‐term replacement as Bill in Me and My Girl (1987), and a variety of male and female characters in Travels with My Aunt (1995) and Candide (1997).
