I loved 'Leave It To Beaver' in my childhood. I would watch it all the time, it was the greatest. I was doing this other show when the auditions for 'Still The Beaver [aka: The New Leave It To Beaver]' were taking place and I told my manager I wanted to try out. I read the trade papers all the time, and that was where I read they were looking for new Cleaver kids. I knew I just had to do it.
