Johnny Whitaker?


Is Johnny Whitaker the boy who said, "Annabella, Annabella, couldn't get a steady fella!" ?? He is not in the credits and in fact, I don't even know the character's name to try and find the actor who portrayed him in the cast list. Johnny Whitaker also does not have Freaky Friday in his credits. Can anyone help ... this has been bugging me for years!

I don't think it's him. He would have been a bigger star at this point. And, I think the voice sounds different.

I figured the voice was different because his voice would have changed by then.

Also, a lot of actors do uncredited parts these days, but I don't think it was all that common then. But even then when it first came out, everyone and their mother thought it was JW.

No, that was Dermontt Downs. He plays Tony's rival in "Escape to which mountain" in the baseball game scene.
