Hayes Gordon was born in 1920 in Boston, USA. He moved to Australia in 1952, performing lead roles in the shows Kismet and Annie Get Your Gun. In 1958 he founded the Ensemble Theatre at Milsons Point. It became a theatrical landmark in Sydney and was responsible for many innovative and challenging productions. After his association with the Ensemble, he played Tevye in two productions of the highly successful Fiddler on the Roof, which was to become the most celebrated role of his Australian career.
