Life and career
Pasquale was born in Hershey, Pennsylvania. He attended the Meadows School of the Arts at Southern Methodist University as a theatre major for one semester, before moving to New York. He has starred in numerous theatre productions. He originated the role of Fabrizio in the Seattle cast of The Light in the Piazza, however his work on Rescue Me prevented him from reprising the role on Broadway. He said, "That was the most heartbreaking thing that I've ever experienced professionally." [1]
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 had 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.[2]
In April 2009, the record label PS Classics released Pasquale's first album, Somethin' Like Love, a jazz album produced by Jessica Molaskey and John Pizzarelli.[3] He launched his official website in February 2009 and starred in the Broadway play reasons to be pretty by Neil LaBute.

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.[5][6]
In 2013, Pasquale starred in The Bridges of Madison County at the Williamstown Theatre Festival, alongside Kelli O'Hara.

He had previously worked with O'Hara in 2013, in the world premiere of Richard Greenberg and Scott Frankel's musical Far from Heaven, in which he portrayed Frank Whitaker.[7]
In 2014, Pasquale guest starred in Season 6, episode 4 of the CBS legal drama series The Good Wife, as Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies)'s campaign manager Jonathan Elfman.
