It looks like he was credited in only one episode (S5 E37 - "Long Distance Call") of Leave it to Beaver as the 2nd Boy. Articles mention he was a classmate of Beaver in the first episode. I guess he was mostly in the background in any other episodes.

His big role was as Monk in 11 episodes of McKeever and the Colonel. He was active from 1958 to 1967.

I was surprised ABC World News Tonight mentioned him tonight. It sounds like he had a good life after his acting career ended.
