Does anyone know who the actor was who played the little boy named Tommy in the episode called "Bad Boy"? He almost looks like he could be related to Mickey Rooney... Just curious!
shareFunny I was wondering who the actor was myself last night when I was watching on my smart phone , I don't think it's Mickey Rooney since I Married Joan ran 52-53, so Mickey Rooney would have been a young adult
shareIt could be Mickey Rooney's son.
I think I heard once that two(?) of his sons were attempting to be Mouseketeers on "The Mickey Mouse Club" but that they wreaked havoc with a prank that involved paint and were quickly dismissed.
The story made sense because if any kids on the Disney lot would have felt comfortable enough to wreak havoc in a Hollywood studio, it would have to be children who were familiar with movie sets and who probably felt confident enough that the "star" status of their parents would trump any subsequent disciplinary measures.

According to IMDb, his name is Danny Richards Jr. (born 1942, son of Danny Richards, vocalist for trumpeter Bunny Berigan's big band in the 1940's). He's credited on 36 different series and movies (and was apparently a regular on one series, with 38 episodes), all between 1949 and 1962.
