I know this is an old post but just ran across this. I was watching ILL this morning and thought it was Jerry. This was on his FB page from 2019.

I know that many of you have wondered whether or not I appeared in the I Love Lucy episode, “Ricky’s Old Girlfriend.” Although the young boy with Lucy in the dream sequence may resemble me, I never appeared in an I Love Lucy episode. I enjoy your discussions about the topics that you find interesting about LITB, as well as other facets of my life!

Thanks for straightening out the mis-information about Jerry Mathers.

Also re Keith Thibodeaux from Lucy, in an earlier post--it was evident he didn't speak clearly, probably not all that uncommon for a five-year-old. They probably got viewer comments, because after a few of his episodes, the main characters began repeating his lines. I don't really remember, but as he grew up in the Lucy-Desi hour long shows, he probably grew out of it and his lines were OK.
