Jay North (Dennis the Menace)
You’ve gotta know (and love) him for his role on Dennis the Menace (1959-63). If you’ve never watched that favorite sitcom, you’d get the gist just from looking at the popular comic strip, created by Hank Ketcham. As a teen, he also starred in feature films, Zebra in the Kitchen and Maya, as well as the TV series, Maya.
He also gave voice to popular animated series adaptations like The Banana Splits Adventure Hour, The Pebble and Bamm-Bamm Show. He also joined the Navy.
After admitting to (and going public with) some of the many trials and tribulations he’d encountered as a child actor, he joined forces with Paul Peterson to found A Minor Consideration, which offered counsel to child actors.
