Personal Quote:

Suddenly after the [ The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin] series was canceled and I began doing guest shots, I realized that something had changed -- I wasn't the center of attention any more. My folks had always told me that my career might not last, but when it happened, it was still a hard thing for me to adjust to. See more »

Trivia:

Was tested for the top boy role in the classic movie Shane and promised the part, but lost it a few days later to the late Brandon De Wilde. See more »
