Grease and Broadway star, 76, looks unrecognizable as he beautifies his home in LA... can you guess who he is?

This star of the hit 1978 musical Grease looked unrecognizable when he was spotted tidying up his home in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

The 76-year-old actor, who still looked impressively trim, was spotted working up a sweat while taking care of lawn work and home improvement projects around his house.

Although he's best known for appearing with John Travolta and the late Olivia Newton-John in Grease, he has had a prolific career lasting decades.

While he was most prolific on television in the 1970s and '80s, he has continued to appear in films and television shows well into the current decade.

In addition to his work on screen, this star has also worked extensively on Broadway.

Can you guess who he is? 

He's actor Barry Pearl, best known for playing the comically nicknamed Doody in Grease.

Doody was one of the members of the T-Birds gang, which also included, Sonny (Michael Tucci), Putzie (Kelly Ward) and Kenickie (Jeff Conaway), as well as Travolta's character, Danny Zuko.

Danny was torn between his obligations to his pals and his growing infatuation with Australian transfer student Sandy, whom he reconnects with during his senior year of high school after they first spent a magical summer together.

Grease, which was based on the 1971 stage musical of the same name, was a hit at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film of 1978 and taking in around $396 million over time. 

Pearl was pictured looking casual in a baby blue T-shirt and distressed acid-wash jeans as he took care of watering the lawn.

He had on simple gray sneakers and covered up from the piercing sun with a white baseball cap and sunglasses.

Pearl has sported a close-cropped salt-and-pepper beard in his later years, which emphasized how different he looks compared to the clean-shaven appearances in Grease and on TV.

He appeared to have a chat with a neighbor while doing yard work.

The actor looked as if he was ready for some heavy-duty cleaning, as he was seen carrying a bucket and some powdered Comet cleaner. 

His home improvement projects appeared to include some repairs to a white fence.

Pearl was spotted driving away, and later he returned with posts for the fence.

The screen star, who was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, revealed last year on the Classic Conversations podcast that he got his start in the entertainment business not in film or television, but in dance.

He shared that his mother had enrolled him as a child in a local dance class, and he later transitioned into local theater in Lancaster. 

That early experience helped him land the role of Randolph McAfee in the Broadway production of Bye Bye Birdie when he was just 11. 

From there, he went on to play the Artful Dodger in the original production of Oliver!, along with multiple other stage roles. 

It was in the mid-'60s that Pearl began making his first small appearances in film and television, mostly in uncredited roles. 

In the mid-'70s, he relocated to Hollywood, but in addition to seeking out acting work, he threw himself into improvisation classes. 

Pearl then used his years of experience on the stage and screen to teach other students, eventually founding the Acting Lab. 

Pearl's biggest success up to that point had been as a recurring character who appeared in 14 episodes of the Don Rickles comedy CPO Sharkey from 1976–'77. 

After Grease, he scored guest roles in shows including Barney Miller, Eight Is Enough, Benson, Hill Street Blues, Alice, the '80s incarnation of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Growing Pains and Murder, She Wrote, among other shows.

Pearl also appeared in primetime soap operas, including Baywatch and Beverly Hills, 90210, in the '90s, and he made a guest appearance as a doctor on House in 2009. 

While Pearl has mostly appeared in small projects in recent years, he has continued appearing on screen up until 2024.

As his television and film career cooled, Pearl renewed his interest in Broadway with stints in The Producers in 2005, Lenny's Back in 2008 and Baby It's You! in 2011, before joining the national tour of Happy Days – A New Musical in 2012. 

Pearl has also focused on his work off stage as a theatre director. 

The multi-talented artist is married to his fourth wife, Cindy Pearl, whom he tied the knot with in 2016.
