Personal Quote:

"Why? Because we like you!" -- Jimmie's familiar saying at the end of every Mousketeer show. See more »

Trivia:

By all accounts he was just the sort of person he played on The Mickey Mouse Club- decent, caring, deeply religious, and very much concerned for children and their welfare. All of the original Mouseketeers loved him, a love that was reciprocated, and all continue to speak well of him to this day. See more »
