Biography,Early life and careerStephen Talbot (left) as Gilbert Bates in Leave it to Beaver with Jerry Mathers (center) as the Beaver and the late Stanley Fafara (right) as Hubert Whitey Whitney, circa 1962.Talbots first appearance as Gilbert on Leave it to Beaver was in a 1959 episode called Beaver and Gilbert, where he plays a new kid in town who is prone to telling tall tales. Talbots signature episode in the Leave it to Beaver series is The School Picture in which he (Gilbert) tricks the Beav into making a face during the annual class photo. In another memorable episode, Long Distance Call, Gilbert convinces Beaver to place an expensive phone call to Los Angeles Dodgers pitching star Don Drysdale.Having spent his early years in front of the cameras on Leave it to Beaver as Gilbert Bates (56 episodes), Talbot abandoned acting for a career as a journalist. In an article in Salon.com he looked back with a sense of humor about his past role.In the interests of historical accuracy I should say that, yes, Gilbert was a troublemaker and an occasional liar, but my character was certainly no Eddie Haskell – that leering teenage hypocrite who spoke unctuously to parents (Well, hello Mrs. Cleaver, and how is young Theodore today?) and venomously to the Beav (Hey, squirt, take a powder before I squash you like a bug).! I have spent my adult life trying to conceal my Leave it to Beaver past or correcting the historical record. Either way the series has become inescapable. When I was a kid, I loved acting, in fact, I badgered my father and mother until they allowed me to work. But how could I have known as an innocent 9-year-old that I was taking part in a television program that would live on for 40 years as an icon for baby boomers? In the early 80s, I turned down an offer to revive my role as Gilbert in a dreadful Beaver reunion series. Im trying to establish myself as a documentary filmmaker and an investigative reporter, I explained to the producers. I cant go back to being Gilbert!Talbot guest-starred on many television programs in the late 1950s and early 1960s, including Lassie, M Squad, The Barbara Stanwyck Show, The Blue Angels,Men Into Space, Lawman, Wanted: Dead or Alive, Law of the Plainsman, The Donna Reed Show and The Lucy Show.

In the episode, he recites to his dying teacher, Roy Cantwell (Fred Beir) a part of Patrick Henrys 1775 address at St. Johns Church. The twister in the title of the episode is a tornado that wipes out a western town.In 1960, he played Jimmie Kendall, son of the title character in CBSs Perry Mason in the episode, The Case of the Wandering Widow.On stage, Talbot co-starred as Sonny in William Inges, Dark at the Top of the Stairs with Marjorie Lord at the La Jolla Playhouse.He also played Dick Clarks nephew in the only movie Clark ever acted in, Because Theyre Young (1960), a high school melodrama with Tuesday Weld and music by rock n roller Duane Eddy. Correction: Dick Clark in the following year acted in The Young Doctors (1960).Adult careerAs an adult, Talbot turned from acting to journalism and did not dwell on his Leave It To Beaver heritage, turning down numerous LITB reunion offers in order to be taken seriously as a reporter.
