Tony
Dow won the role of Wally Cleaver in a casting cattle call with
almost no previous acting experience (although his mother, Muriel
Montrose, had appeared in a number of Our Gang shorts).
Dow's post-Beaver years were busy with roles on a number of
TV shows, including the soaps Never Too Young and General
Hospital and guest spots on many 60's episodic shows like
Mr. Novak and Dr. Kildare.
Dow eventually went into the construction business in addition
to studying journalism and filmmaking. In recent years he
has acted occasionally (most notably in Beaver reunions),
and has become quite successful behind the scenes as a producer
and director. Recently Dow has directed episodes of USA Network's
series Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family. |
