Teddy Infuhr

Teddy Infuhr was an American child actor who got his start at five, when a talent agent booked him in his first film, The Tuttles of Tahiti (1942). Born in St. Louis, he moved to Los Angeles at three and was nudged toward acting by his mother while studying at Rainbow Studios. Across the 1940s he played mean-spirited children, troublemakers and bullies, often without a screen credit and never tied to one studio. He also had a recurring role in the Rusty canine adventures, from The Return of Rusty to Rusty's Birthday, and appeared in the Ma and Pa Kettle films, beginning with The Egg and I, working in that series more than any other regular child actor. His other credits included The Spider Woman, as Gale Sondergaard's fly-catching nephew, The Boy with Green Hair, Fighting Fools, West of El Dorado and Blondie's Hero. He died in 2007.
