The boy who played little Ricky was named Keith. Last name pronounced Tibodo and spelled Thibodeaux, or something like that. He was so cute, but it was his drumming skills which left me in absolute AWE! Too bad he was never credited.

My favorite child actor is Dean Stockwell. As he's just about my favorite adult actor, too, it's easy to remember.

[LucyLova]

My favorite child stars are Kim Fields, Nancy McKeon, Lisa Whelchel, Emmanuel Lewis, Gary Coleman, and Annette Funicello.

[Goodnight Gracie]

My all time fav is Patty Duke.

[Lamont Holmes]

What other child stars do you know? Tell me what TV shows they
used to do. Personally,my favorites are Hilary Duff(from "Lizzie McGuire") and Raven(from "That's So Raven").

Jodie Foster without a doubt.

Danny Bonaduce was a good actor at a fairly young age as well.
