My Three Sons and Disney star Tim Considine has died
Tim Considine was born in 1940 and started out as a child actor. He starred in The Adventures of Spin and Marty and several of The Hardy Boys series in the 1950s, in addition to The Mickey Mouse Club, Disneyland, and the 1959 Disney film The Shaggy Dog.
But his best-known work probably came on My Three Sons. He played the eldest son "Mike Douglas" and was an original cast member from 1960 to 1965. The popular Fred MacMurray series aired until 1972.
Considine's acting career slowed after My Three Sons. He had guest roles on Bonanza and Gunsmoke, among others, and was actually one of the soldiers famously slapped in the war film Patton. He had only a handful of roles after the 1970s.
