I worked on a film short with Frank Sinatra when I was a kid.

In all the time I knew Bob, personally and professionally, we never had a harsh word.

Children should enjoy the few years they have just being a kid.

Cary Grant was another gentleman who I saw around the lot. Wallace Berry had a reputation for being gruff but he was very nice to me.

He had a wonderful sense of comedy, great timing, and he had sweet personality on the screen. I loved working with him. I was proud to be his straight man.

You can never spend enough time with children.

That I have not only survived this business with all of its ups and downs but that I have a very happy and successful life.

a real professional – a natural comedian and a pleasure to work with.

My background with Cummings was rehearse, rehearse, rehearse, but Tuesday liked to walk in and do the scene. I must say that she was really wonderful. Aggravating, but wonderful.

Even as a small child I never felt that I should have to compete with anyone – even my older brother.

I have often been told that I have many of the same mannerisms as Jack Benny and certainly Bob Cummings.

I feel like a part of me died,

I would never recommend it. I have a six-year-old son who wants to be an actor (as well as a vet and an artist) but I would not encourage it.

The show has brought a lot of pleasure and entertainment to an entire generation of Baby Boomers and now their own teens who watch the show on cable.

Suddenly I was on stage.Looking out into the sea of screaming excited teens, I thought for a fleeting moment that maybe I had been too hard on myself, maybe I was just as much a...

He and I were opposites on the screen and in real life in many ways, because I was an extension of Dobie and he was an extension of Maynard.

That said, let me add that Joan and I never want him to be a child actor. We both feel that it takes away their childhood and puts untold pressure on children.

I went back to film work after Dobie. I went back to film work after Dobie.

Some couples could not work together but we enjoy working on our projects and building our art business.

He was a wonderful, sweet character. And very, very funny. Bob was a wonderful comedian.

I read several scenes and then I was called back and everyone just acted like I had the part. I went home and still wasn’t sure if I had it or not. Finally Ted called...

Little did I know then that I would be tied to that role the rest of my life!

I have always loved art and architecture, in fact, that has always been my first love, never acting or film work.

I get so many requests for these episodes on VHS and DVD. Unfortunately, I do not have any episodes available at this time. The rights for the series are currently held by both 20th Century...

I was always very shy but my older brother, Darryl, was working and my mother couldn’t leave me home alone so I was dragged along to the studio.

I think that between the egos of the actors and the wrestlers in this country we are taking away from the truly dedicated and informed people who should be getting their voice heard.

Warren Beatty has always acted like a Movie Star even when no one knew who he was.

In Ski Party we are reading up on how to have fun without sex. That was the theme of every AIP picture!

No, I never tried the music business.

Right now I am preparing for another art exhibit in November in Palm Desert.

I was working on the Bob Cummings Show and my manager, Ted Wick, call 20th Century Fox, and suggested me for the role of Dobie.

Currently my original oils are being sold by The Charles Hecht Galleries in La Jolla, California.

Dobie was so well written and so ahead of its time.

The print on canvas is the closest to the original work. I personally sign them as well.

I was just standing around and suddenly I was cast as an extra. I hated it because I was so shy.

The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.

If you had ever heard my album you would know that I could never consider the music business!

I feel like a part of me is gone, too. We were a comedy team and I was proud to be his straight man. He was a wonderful comedian. Underrated, really.

Breaking the fourth wall and having Dobie talk to the audience was ground-breaking.
