Encyclopedia
Gerald Patrick "Jerry" Mathers (born June 2, 1948) is an American television, film, and stage actor. Mathers is best known for his role in the television sitcom series Leave It to Beaver
(1957–1963), in which he played Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver
, the younger son of archetypal suburban couple June
and Ward Cleaver
(played by Barbara Billingsley
and Hugh Beaumont
), and the brother of Wally Cleaver
(played by Tony Dow
).
Mathers was born in Sioux City, Iowa
, the son of a high school principal. His acting career began early. In a commercial
for PET Milk, at age 2, he walked into a barroom wearing diapers, six guns, cowboy boots and a big cowboy hat. Vaudeville
comedian Ed Wynn
was behind the bar and several cowboy actors began portraying a bar fight. At this point, Mathers walks through the fighting cowboys and one of them picks him up and they all say, "Why are you here?" Mathers responds, "I’m the toughest hombre in these parts. You better have my brand," while he pounds on the bar.
His early movies included This is My Love (1954), Men of the Fighting Lady (1954), The Seven Little Foys
(1955) and The Trouble with Harry
(1955).
As he moved into his teenage years, Mathers retired from acting to concentrate on high school.
In 1978, he reentered the entertainment industry. He has since starred in Playing Patti (1998) and Better Luck Tomorrow (2002). He has also been in It's Howdy Doody Time (1987), Down the Drain (1990) and Sexual Malice (1994).
meeting than auditioning for the part. The producers found his candidness appealing and perfect for the role. During the show's six seasons, Mathers also had a remarkable, professional relationship with both Billingsley and Dow, who were both his second mother and brother and close friends, both on- and off-camera. Mathers played the Beaver for six years, appearing in all 234 episodes of the series. After the series, Mathers remained close to Billingsley for over 45 years, until her death in October, 2010. Just a few years before her death, he sang at her co-star's mother's 80th birthday party, after she returned from a play on Broadway
.
Mathers was the first child actor ever to make a deal to get a percentage of the merchandising revenue from a television show. The Leave It to Beaver show still generates merchandise revenue today, 48 years after its original production run ended.
The original sitcom has been shown in over 80 countries in 40 languages. Mathers has noted that the Leave It to Beaver phenomenon is worldwide. "I can go anywhere in the world, and people know me," Mathers has said. "In Japan the show’s called 'The Happy Boy and His Family.' So I’ll be walking through the airport in Japan, and people will come up and say, 'Hi, Happy Boy!'"
His role as the Beaver was reprised in 1983, when Mathers, along with original cast members Barbara Billingsley
(as "June Cleaver
"), Tony Dow
(as "Wally Cleaver
"), Ken Osmond
(as "Eddie Haskell
"), and Frank Bank
(as "Clarence 'Lumpy' Rutherford
"), appeared in a CBS
T.V. movie, Still The Beaver. These same original cast members were then featured in a new television sitcom version of this movie in 1985, which in its first season was a Disney Channel
