Timothy Scott Schnell, often credited as Timothy Scott, was a talented American dancer, singer, and performer. Was born in September 15th, 1955, in Morton Grove, Illinois, to Richard and Rosemary Schnell.
Timothy's career began at the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company, where he was in the chorus for South Pacific and Fiddler on the Roof.
He was in the first international company of A Chorus Line, playing the role of Mark in the New York company until 1978. He had his Broadway debut the same year in King of Hearts at the age of 23. He then toured with Dancin' in the first national company. In 1980, he toured Europe with mime duo Shields and Yarnell.
In 1982, he was cast as Mistoffelees in the original Broadway cast of Cats, which he starred in until 1984. As Mr. Mistoffelees he wanted to inspire everyone to live their most magical dream.
He has appeared on film in Baryshnikov in Hollywood, Laverne and Shirley, Captain EO, Annie, A Chorus Line and a 1981 Dr. Pepper commercial.
He passed away due to AIDS related illness on February 24, 1988. This was the fall of a partner. The fall of an idol. But his heart stills with us.
And as Shakespeare's Hamlet would say, "Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest".
Good night, little Timothy. May memory and love be with you forever.
