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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.
