Most recognized for: Ken’s role as two-faced miscreant Eddie Haskell on “Leave It to Beaver” left him so typecast that he had little choice but to stop acting altogether and disappear… which gave rise to several ridiculous “whatever happened to…” urban myths. In reality, he grew a mustache and became a motorcycle cop. After getting shot five times, he retired from the LAPD… only to later be done in by the COPD.
