The pool of child actors at the time was not very deep in Hollywood for television roles so its most probable that Buddy Joe got his acting start on Rin Tin Tin. I would believe his bio page at stuntsunlimited because after further research, I found that his father was an actor on Rin Tin Tin for three episodes in 1955. Whether or not that career began with him playing a hitchhiker on the Schlitz Playhouse in 1957 as IMDB states or on Rin Tin Tin as his bio page on the website claims, is up for debate. Buddy Joe Hooker, the son of actor and stuntman Hugh Hooker, used the stage name of Buddy Hart when his acting career began.

BUDDY JOE HOOKER! ButвЂ¦ actor Buddy Hart didnвЂ™t change his name to Buddy Joe Hooker a decade after his child acting years were over. Now, if you want to know who played Chester Anderson on Leave it to Beaver, the answer вЂ¦. Who knows where that misinformation came from? It certainly didnвЂ™t come from the person who posted it on Facebook. One of the biggest problems I had in figuring out the real actor who played WallyвЂ™s friend Chester Anderson is some misinformation I found from November 2014 on a Leave it to Beaver Facebook group which stated that Nathaniel вЂњBuddyвЂќ Anderson grew up and changed his name to Buddy Joe Hooker and later went on to become a world famous stuntman, perhaps the most famous stuntman in the world.

So, there is no way his father was once the Lone Ranger actor John Hart. ThereвЂ™s only one problem with this John Hart/Buddy Hart father son scenario, Buddy Hart was a stage name.

John Hart was most popular for playing the Lone Ranger on a couple seasons of that world famous TV western after Clayton Moore left due to an impasse in contract talks. According to that same old IMDB page for Buddy Hart, it listed his father as John Hart, an actor who played in three different episodes of Leave it to Beaver, the best known being his role as a scout master in вЂњLonesome BeaverвЂќ from season one. Okay, so who played Chester Anderson on Leave it to Beaver, was it Buddy Hart or Buddy Joe Hooker? Well, for years, according to IMDB, Buddy Hart played Chester Anderson on Leave it to Beaver. More importantly, the page should re-direct to the Buddy Joe Hooker page, and not be a page of its own. As Wikipedia says, the current Buddy Hart Wikipedia page вЂњhas multiple issuesвЂќ which need corrected. At one point, the page listed acting credits, now it doesnвЂ™t. Over the years, the Wikipedia page for вЂњBuddy HartвЂќ has also changed. These two separate IMDB pages existed until the middle of 2015. There was also no listing for and no mention of Buddy Joe Hooker having played Chester Anderson on Leave it to Beaver. That IMDB page had no credits before 1970. The second listing was for an actor/stuntman named Buddy Joe Hooker.

The original IMDB page was, but that page now re-directs to the current page. The first listing had an actor named Buddy Hart who began his career on the Schlitz Playhouse (1957) and his acting credits ran through Sweet Charity (1969) where the actor played an uncredited role as a baseball player.
