What Ever Happened To Buddy Hart?
26 September 2008
Buddy Hart, who plays the role of "Tommy" in this film version of the popular Canadian, syndicated TV series, "The Littlest Hobo," also played the role of "Chester Anderson" on the first few seasons of "Leave It To Beaver."

Hart's "Chester" was the best-looking of "Wally Cleaver's" entourage of friends, which included the notorious weasel, "Eddie Haskell," the obese bully, "Clarence 'Lumpy' Rutherford," & nerdy "Tooey Brown."

In real life, Hart is also the son of actor John Hart, the second actor to portray "The Lone Ranger," in between the stints of Clayton Moore, who originated the role on TV and in films.

The younger Hart continued to play supporting roles in films, his last (of any notoriety, at least) being 1969's musical "Sweet Charity," which starred Shirley MacLaine, directed by Bob Fosse. His show business resume mysteriously ends with that project--now almost 40 years ago--and he was never in the casts of either the "Leave It To Beaver" TV reunion film, "Still The Beaver," nor of its spin-off series'--"Still The Beaver" and "The New Leave It To Beaver," which aired on The Disney Channel and SuperStation TBS, respectively.
