Life and career

Pasquale was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He attended Bishop McDevitt High School, a Roman Catholic school in Harrisburg, PA. He attended the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University as a theatre major for one semester before moving to New York, where he starred in numerous theatre productions. He originated the role of Fabrizio in the Seattle cast of '' The Light in the Piazza.'' However, scheduling conflicts with '' Rescue Me'' prevented him from reprising the role on Broadway, a disappointment he described as "the most heartbreaking thing that I've ever experienced professionally."

He played the role of Sheriff Joe Sutter in the musical ''The Spitfire Grill,'' where he introduced the song "Forest For the Trees." He then landed the lead role of Chris in the 1998 American tour of ''Miss Saigon.'' In 2002, he played Robbie Faye in the New York production of '' A Man of No Importance'' and Archibald Craven at the Joey DiPaolo AIDS Foundation's concert of '' The Secret Garden'' alongside Michael Arden, Jaclyn Nedenthal, Will Chase, Max von Essen, Celia Keenan-Bolger, and Tony Award-winning actress Laura Benanti, whom he later married.

In April 2009, the record label PS Classics released Pasquale's first album, ''Somethin' Like Love,'' a jazz record produced by Jessica Molaskey and John Pizzarelli. He launched his official website in February 2009 and starred in the Broadway play '' Reasons to Be Pretty'' by Neil LaBute.

In 2011, Pasquale played the lead role of Paul Keller on the Fox Television Studios pilot ''Over/Under.'' The pilot was rejected in 2012 but aired on the USA Network on January 4, 2013. He also starred in the U.S. miniseries ''Coma''.

He was the lead actor for the NBC series '' Do No Harm,'' which premiered on January 31, 2013, to the lowest debut rating in the history of prime-time television.

In 2013, Pasquale starred in ''The Bridges of Madison County'' at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, alongside Kelli O'Hara. He also starred in the Broadway production of the musical at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre beginning in late January 2014, with Kelli O'Hara replacing Elena Shaddow
