Name the actor who appears in one episode only who shares the same name with Beaver Cleaver’s real first name in the series. What was his name in the episode and what was his job. He helps Beaver with a problem he has.

This actor’s last name is the same as a famous scientist.

Theodore Newton plays the librarian, Mr. Davenport, in the episode where Beaver uses Ward's library card and loses the book (Treasure Island?)

Eddie talks Beaver into believing the library will throw Ward into jail for not paying the fine, and Beaver goes to the library and sees Mr. Davenport, to try to talk him out of doing that.

Here's another question: this first name is also shared by a writer in the series. This person, and his (probably) wife, wrote many sitcom episodes. What's his full name and what is his wife's first name?

There were several episodes written by the husband and wife team of Theodore and Mathilde Ferro.

Beat me to the answer. Stevea how did you get that answer so fast?

That guy, Theodore Newton, was good in the part but makes me think he could be the butler in a haunted house. Love how he calls Ward like he’s the only Ward Cleaver in town. Just like the bank teller when Beaver wanted to “deem” the bond.
