Jon Provost - Timmy Martin in the CBS television series Lassie.

[Robert]

Jon Provost (born Jonathan Provost on March 12, 1950, in Los Angeles, California) is a former child actor of film and television. He is best known for his role as young Timmy Martin in the CBS series, Lassie. For seven seasons, 1957–1964, audiences grew to love Timmy and his adventures with Lassie.

He has worked with everyone from Jack Benny to Bing Crosby, but this past Thursday on Dec 2nd, Jon was interviewed on the trivia podcast "Wait, I Know This!". The show interviews a celebrity from the world of TV, music or film and you get the backstage stories. One of my favorite podcast.

Here is the interview.
