When Tony was hired to play Wally on Leave It to Beaver, the young boy didn’t have any prior acting experience. In the 1970s, the former child star began studying journalism. He stayed there until 1968, at which point he took up working as a contractor, performing renovations on luxury condos. However, he eventually decided that he needed to take a break from acting and ventured out into other career fields. After the show came to an end, Tony made some guest appearances in other shows. Leave It to Beaver aired from 1957 to 1963.
