And Harry Shearer As Eddie Haskell



That's him on the right. And to be precise about it, he actually played "Frankie", an Eddie-esque character. These days Harry Shearer is best known as the voice of TV Land and of The Simpsons Montgomery Burns.

Harrison Shearer got his big break in the pilot of the 1957-63 sitcom Leave It To Beaver, in which he played the original Eddie Haskell. The role was recast in future episodes, though he appeared as a different character later on in the first season.

I don't think you can say he was "the original Eddie Haskell," though, since the character had a different name. That'd be like saying William Demarest continued the role of Bub in "My Three Sons."
