He played Lucy's son on The Lucy Show.
Poor guy, I believe I read elsewhere that he fell. The obituary says he was "Found Dead".

I remember one episode where his character was a big fan of guest star Ethel Merman, as all little boys were in the early 1960s. Who needs The Rolling Stones when you can listen to Ethel on the original cast recording of Annie Get your Gun?
The show's premise: widow Lucy Carmichael had a daughter and son, divorcee Vivian Bagley had a son; the five lived together to share expenses. Lucy's husband left her a nice trust fund, but she had to kiss the mean banker Mr. Mooney's ass to get to more than her "allowance", i.e., whenever she needed a little extra cash.
IMO the three kids were written-out because Lucy wanted to remain eternally young-ish, and the older the kids got the older SHE got. Soft-focus lenses can only do so much, you know. Also, the series quickly focused on the hilarious hijinks that Lucy and Vivian got into each week. There was no denying the comic chemistry Lucy and Vivian had together. The kids were superfluous, as was neighbor Dick Martin (later of Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In fame).
At least Vivian Vance's character on this show got to enjoy a nicer hairdo and wardrobe than Ethel Mertz ever did. Eventually Vance got tired of being second banana and left the show, resulting in a new guest star each week to try and fill the void. In other words, if you upstage Lucy (even unintentionally), you will get this look, and Vivian got sick and tired of it ......
I couldn't resist posting this photo. Lucy attended Ethel's wedding to Ernest Borgnine. Even at the reception Ethel had that " huh, what what ? what the fuck did I just do?" dazed look on her face. 38 days later the marriage was over.
