As a youth, American actor Tim Hovey appeared in a few films during the 1950s. Of these his most famous is The Private War of Major Benson (1955), a gentle comedy in which the then six-year-old Hovey was said to have stolen every scene he was in with his sad puppy eyes and wide goofy grin. Following that success, Hovey appeared in a similar follow-up Toy Tiger and soon afterwards he made a few more films, before turning to television.
