Jerry Mathers became a child actor at two years old. HE was a favorite child star of Alfred Hitchcock. In 1957 mat the age of eight, he started his most famous role, as the Beaver. The series filmed a total of 234 episodes and the show ended in 1963.
Jerry Mathers began a successful career in investment and real estate
development using his savings from his early acting career. Although
he was offered many roles in both television and film, he declined to
accept. In 1982, Jerry Mathers 
was
requested by Universal Television and his former cast members to
return to his acting career as Beaver Cleaver in the made-for-TV
movie "Still The Beaver." Reluctant, it was explained by
certain members of the Teamsters Union that without Jerry Mathers,
the movie, which had already been funded, could not be made. Members
of the union would not have a job. Jerry Mathers agreed to do the
film. The show was rated in the top ten movies of the week and served
as a pilot for the series The New Leave It To Beaver, which ran for
108 episodes. Jerry Mathers has occasionally revisited television
when called by friends, making selected appearances on shows like
"The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," "Saturday Night
Live," "Super Bloopers and Practical Jokes,"
"Married With Children," and other programs.
He is currently involved in writing a book and is also working on the 40th anniversary of the original " Leave It To Beaver"
