Mr. Belvedere's Brice Beckham (Wesley)...

I'm sure you remember Brice Beckham as Wesley T. Owens, the youngest of the Owens family and the troublemaker on the classic 1985 - 1991 ABC sitcom Mr. Belvedere. You may have also seen him as Corey about two years ago on VH1's I Hate My 30's.

Brice is a Hollywood rarity - a former child actor who's life is still good! And amazingly, he's still working in & on TV!

In honor of seasons one and two of Mr. Belvedere finally being released on DVD from Shout Factory, I talked with him tonight during The Retro Show. What's his favorite Mr. Belvedere episode? Was he a prankster behind the scenes just like his character? Did he drive Christopher Hewitt (Mr. Belvedere) crazy off set too? Find out all of this by checking out the full 8-minute interview here (portions aired on Star 102.5).

And go see clips from I Hate My 30's and a bunch of other shorts at Drama 3/4's website (that's the production company he now helps run).

As for the others from the show, see some of them occasionally pop up on the welcome page of Shout Factory's website and read an interview with Rob Stone (Kevin Owens) on this Mr. Belvedere fansite. Also check out the Blogvedere (I love this blog site)!

And then there's the links! Here's everything Brice mentioned...
