In the sailor chorus of the original Broadway version of "South Pacific", he met future singing wife, Jeannie Carson, when both were cast in "Finian's Rainbow" in 1960. They married that same year and toured in 1961 in "Camelot" with Biff as "Arthur" and Jeannie as "Guinevere". The couple performed together for much of their career, including a 15-year stint with the Seattle Repertory Theatre.
