View Full Version : Best child television actor? LUNCH 11-03-2010, 12:17 PM Who do you think is one of the better or best child television actors? One of my picks would be Jerry Mathers.He really could act.He played the part of Theodore Cleaver in such a natural way it was almost as if he was not acting,which is really very hard to do even for an experienced good adult actor. qwerty 11-03-2010, 01:07 PM I always thought Ron Howard as Opie Taylor on the Andy Griffith Show was excellent. benjamoon 11-03-2010, 02:48 PM RON HOWARD! Also the Cosby Show kids were great as was Erin Murphy on Bewitched and the kids on The Middle dakert 11-03-2010, 05:02 PM I vote for Jay North as "Dennis The Menace" because he had to carry the whole show comedyfreak 11-04-2010, 04:08 AM Ron Howard "Andy Griffith Show" and "Happy Days" Bill Mumy "Lost In Space" and his appearances on The Twilight Zone, Bewitched, and The Munsters. old grouch 11-04-2010, 12:03 PM Billy Mumy Melissa Gilbert Allison Arngrim Ken Osmond Shelley Fabares LUNCH 11-04-2010, 12:07 PM All good choices.In addition to the older television shows being so much better than anything they make nowadays,they also featured some great child actors and actresses.---Another pick of mine would be Johnny Crawford from "The Rifleman".And later on he made some guest appearances on shows like the original Hawaii 5-0(the ONLY Hawaii 5-0 as far as I'm concerned)where he also proved he was quite a good actor in his early 20s.--And I agree Ken Osmond was outstanding,one of the best.

She wasn't a child anymore. jimpickens 11-07-2010, 01:44 AM David Faustino of MWC always thought he did a good job of portraying Bud Bundy. Pitooey 11-07-2010, 05:21 PM Ron Howard and Brandon Cruz. Silly Lily 11-07-2010, 07:16 PM Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson were great on Roseanne. principehomura 11-08-2010, 06:39 AM Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson were great on Roseanne. Totally agree!
