- Ken Osmond: I was typecast. Every time I walked into a casting office, all they could see was 'Eddie,' and that's a death sentence in Hollywood. But 'Eddie' has been so good to me. I've gotten to see people and go places and it's opened doors. I can go anywhere and they treat me like a long lost relative, it's wonderful.
