STAGE TUBE: Tony Winner Ben Vereen Visits CBS SUNDAY MORNING

Even though he grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., the theater lights of Broadway could have been thousands of miles away, actor and entertainer Ben Vereen told Mo Rocca in an interview for CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH CHARLES OSGOOD, that aired yesterday June 7 (9:00 AM, ET) on CBS. Check out his full interview below!

"I had never been to a Broadway show," Vereen tells Rocca. "Because it wasn't in our vocabulary. You've got to understand something. My background did not warrant me to be on the stage. We didn't talk about theater. We watched television. We didn't talk in my home about Broadway."

Now, he's a Broadway veteran, having earned a Tony award for his work in "Pippin." He's also a multi-faceted performer, having earned critical praise for his work in the film "All That Jazz" and the TV miniseries "Roots."

CBS SUNDAY MORNING is broadcast Sundays (9:00-10:30 AM, ET) on the CBS Television Network. Rand Morrisonis the executive producer.
