FORMER teen heartthrob Shaun Cassidy has slammed his late actor-dad, Jack Cassidy, as a fraud who spoke with a fake British-type accent and was more interested in his career — “yet I wouldn’t have traded him for the world,” he insists.

Cassidy, who tragically died at 49 in a fire ignited by a lit cigarette he’d dropped when he fell asleep on his couch in 1976, famously played the villain in Clint Eastwood’s 1975 hit The Eiger Sanction and guested in numerous TV shows like Columbo, McCloud and Hawaii Five-O.
