Both Osmond brothers — who are now 49 and 46, respectively — were only 12 when they first starred in Leave It To Beaver. Eric began in 1983, according to IMDb, and Christian three years later in 1986. While Christian jumped straight into the television series when he first started, Eric also got to play a part in the show’s movie spinoff, Still the Beaver, before plunging into The New Leave It To Beaver TV series. 

Perhaps because of their age differences, Eric stayed on the show for six years total, while Christian played his part for three. And both of their cameos were fitting — they played the sons of Eddie Haskell, who was played by their famous father Ken Osmond. 

While that stint seemed to be the end of Christian’s short-lived acting career, Eric followed his father’s footsteps and remained in the television and film industry until recently. His latest recorded date as an actor was 2017, when he starred in the short film, Fluffy Land! As for Eric, he’s taken on a much greater interest as a visual effects editor and assistant editor, taking part in Scooby-Doo! movies, The Lizzie McGuire MovieCaptain America: The First AvengerThor, and many others.

It’s clear the brothers will miss their father, who likely influenced their career choices. “He was an incredibly kind and wonderful father,” Eric said in a statement, adding that his father “was loved and will be very missed.”
