Ken Olfson was born on April 2, 1937 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. He was an actor, known for Spaceballs (1987), Flying High (1978) and Remington Steele (1982). He died on December 31, 1997 in Hollywood, California, USA.
Actor Ken Olin's dark, sincere, extreme good looks were steadily put to use on the small screen during the 80s, but, in retrospect, the actor will probably now be considered more of a major force behind the camera as a producer and director when all is said and done. Born Kenneth Edward Olin in Chicago on July 30, 1954, Ken was the son of a former Jewish Peace Corps official and pharmaceutical company owner. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University with an English Literature degree, he continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania. Heading for Hollywood in the late 70s, he went the typical route with bit parts in such TV movies as Women at West Point (1979) and the TV series "The Paper Chase," before his acting career suddenly soared in leaps and bounds. A couple of strong, single-season regular parts on the short-lived baseball ensemble series Bay City Blues (1983), the detective series Hill Street Blues (1981) and the primetime soaper Falcon Crest (1981) led to his poignant casting as the introspective and quietly sexy Michael Steadman on another ensemble series, the classic yuppie social drama Thirtysomething (1987), which ran an acclaimed four seasons and nabbed numerous awards for its performances, direction, liberal writing and sensitive subject material. Ken co-starred with Patricia Wettig (his real-life wife since 1982), but the multi-Emmy winner Wettig did not play Ken's wife (actress Mel Harris did) and the public was often confused as to who Ken's real wife really was. He was Golden Globe-nominated for his work here. During the show's run, Ken found acting employment away from the set of Thirtysomething (1987) on such films as the ensemble dramedy Queens Logic (1991), as well as TV movie leads in A Stoning in Fulham County (1988), Police Story: Cop Killer (1988) and It (1990), and a part in the mini-series I'll Take Manhattan (1987). Ken also earned the chance to direct occasionally on the program and this would have a significant impact as to the direction of his career in the years to come. Following the show's cancellation, Ken pursued TV acting work as both hero (Telling Secrets (1993)) and villain (Dead by Sunset (1995)), along with various shades in between (Nothing But the Truth (1995) (co-starring wife Patricia)), he also starred in a gritty crime series as a cop taking on a crime syndicate in EZ Streets (1996) and a recurring role on the soap drama Brothers & Sisters (2006) that featured wife Patricia. In later years, he appeared frequently as Professor Oz on the TV series Zoo (2015). It was Ken's burgeoning interest in producing and directing, however, that truly took focus into the millennium. He has since found prolifically steady duties on such popular shows as Alias (2001), Brothers & Sisters (2006), The Mob Doctor (2012), Sleepy Hollow (2013) and This Is Us (2016), the last-mentioned for which he has been Emmy-nominated in the "Best Dramatic Series" category. The father of two children, actor/writer/co-producer Clifford Olin and actress Roxy Olin, Ken more recently returned (with most of the original cast) to his role as Michael Steadman in the TV movie Thirtysomething(else) (2020). This time around, however, the TV movie focused on the second generation family.

Forever tagged as the unctuous, trouble-making truant Eddie Haskell on the quintessential 50s family show Leave It to Beaver (1957), actor Ken Osmond did not manage much of a career after the stereotype. So inextricably typed was he that he gave up on any semblance of a career within a short time after the series' cancellation. Unlike so many other tragic child stars who did not survive the transition into adulthood, Osmond's life remained quite balanced. It did not careen out of control or disintegrate into alcohol and drugs. Ken was born on June 3, 1943 in Glendale, California, to Pearl (Hand) and Thurman Osmond, a studio carpenter and propmaker, who were both originally from the American South. He started appearing on film and TV prior to his sitcom success thanks to a typically insistent stage mother. Taking up athletic skills such as fencing and martial arts as well as diction classes, Ken and his brother Dayton Osmond made their film debuts as child extras in the Mayflower pilgrim tale Plymouth Adventure (1952) starring Spencer Tracy. Other minor tyke film roles came for Osmond with So Big (1953), Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955) and Everything But the Truth (1956). He went on to appear in the popular shows of the day including "Circus Boy," "Annie Oakley" and "Lassie." Both public and studio schooled, Ken nabbed the key role of Eddie Haskell at age 14. With his tight, curly blond locks, ugly sneer and intimidating stance, he became an instant sensation on the show, delightfully smudging up the squeaky-clean Cleaver name on occasion with his nasty antics. As the two-faced buddy of teenager Wally Cleaver, Eddie was forever brown-nosing the Cleaver parents ("You look lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver!") while showing his true colors bullying poor Beaver (nicknaming him "squirt") or goading Wally on to break some family rule or curfew. A certifiable radar for trouble, he was the resident scene-stealer for six seasons until the show's demise in 1963, when things went downhill quickly. In retrospect, a spin-off show starring the Eddie Haskell character could have been something to consider; however, Osmond as a 20-year-old juvenile delinquent (his age when the show ended) might have been hard to swallow. Osmond struggled in its aftermath. After a hitch in the Army, he grabbed a few TV remnants that came his way on such lightweight comedy shows as "The Munsters" and "Petticoat Junction." Following a minor role in the youth-oriented flick C'mon, Let's Live a Little (1967) starring pop singers Bobby Vee and Jackie DeShannon, Osmond pretty much called it quits. He subsequently made a very un-Eddie-like career choice by joining the Los Angeles Police Department. He grew a mustache to help secure his anonymity. A long-time member of its vice squad, he was wounded three times during the line of duty, eventually retired and earned a medical disability pension from the police force. In the 1980s, Ken came back to TV with a reunion mini-movie and then a cable-revived version of "Leave It to Beaver" entitled Still the Beaver (1983), which featured Barbara Billingsley, Tony Dow, Frank Bank and Jerry Mathers from the original 1950s cast. The series revolved around the boys all married now, having kids and faced with grown-up problems. Ken's real-life offspring Christian Osmond and Eric Osmond played his impish sons on the series, Eddie Jr. and Freddie. A full-length film version of Leave It to Beaver (1997) had Osmond turning back once again to the show, this time as the father of his infamous role. Ken still makes personal appearances occasionally at film festivals, collectors' shows and nostalgia conventions. Ken was last seen in an isolated featured part in the family comedy film CHARACTERz (2016). Married to wife Sandy since 1970, he kept fairly prosperous handling rental properties in the Los Angeles area. His brother Dayton later became a special effects supervisor for the TV show "Babylon 5." Kenneth Charles Osmond died at age 76 of cardiac arrest on May 18, 2020.
