Tony Dow (Wally Cleaver) on The Mod Squad 1971

Pete, Linc, Julie, and Wally?
Eight years after he ended his first go-round as Wally Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver, Tony Dow, at age 26, guest starred on the popular TV series The Mod Squad on Oct. 21, 1971, as a hot-headed dune buggy racer.
This video has the combined 2 1/2-minutes of scenes where Tony was on screen.

Who would have ever thought that Eddie Haskell would grow up to be a cop and Wally would become a hooligan.

[@sandrahaner1594]

Tony Dow didn't become a hooligan. He was playing a part on The Mod Squad. He was actually a successful director.

[@toinimoore3463]

He’s an is why it’s a job and he still had some of his habits that I doubt you even noticed I took acting and it’s a job to make a living just as Tony did many things in his lifetime to make a living as an artist in other ways! Wake Up already!

It was such a tragic event in so many ways. Ward died of a heart attack soon after Wally was booked. June had a Nervous Breakdown and ended up in a three way love triangle with Fred Rutherford and Mrs. Rayburn, also known as "The Bull" by her intimate friends.

Tony was so typecast as Wally it's a miracle that he got any other roles at all. Just ask Max Baer Jr. (Jethro on Beverly Hillbillies).

[@shettrick]

Because unlike you and I, there are millions of people much younger than us who are familiar with the name Wally Cleaver but couldn't tell you the actor's name was Tony Dow. And the only reason I have put all these hundreds of clips together is because these actors all played characters on Leave it to Beaver. Sorry if it bothers you; please feel feel to just avert your eyes from those couple of words

...I'd say that he even played this part as an older Wally, by the way he spoke his lines.

Just was great at acting that show so well I see so many resighting the lines to the T 🙂like Jerry Maters said some of those lines where real not always scripted.

Well, of course it was no one's idea for Tony Dow to play characters on other shows as an older Wally Cleaver. He was an actor and did different characters
