Jerry Mathers Wiki Biography

Gerald Patrick Mathers was born on 2 June 1948 in Sioux City, Iowa USA. He became known as a child actor in the TV situational comedy “Leave it to Beaver” and after that had many other successful roles on television, films and theatre stage.

So how rich is Jerry Mathers? Sources estimate Jerry’s current net worth to be $7 million, which wealth he has accumulated mostly by working as a film and television actor for more than 50 years.

Jerry Mathers’s career began when he was only two years old, when he appeared in an ad for a department store, and soon after that appeared in a PET Milk commercial. A few years later, in 1954, Jerry made his first movie appearance in “This is My Love”, and a year later Jerry appeared in the Technicolor film “The Seven Little Foys” and a black comedy film “The Trouble with Harry”. In 1957, Jerry managed to land one of the main roles in the popular sitcom “Leave it to Beaver” in which he played the character of Theodore “Beaver” Cleaver for six years. The show has gained worldwide success and therefore raised Jerry’s popularity. In 1957, Jerry appeared in a drama film “The Shadow on the Window”, and a year after that in the World War II drama film “The Deep Six”.

However, the sudden fame seemed to be too much for the young Jerry to handle, and he chose to step away from his acting career and concentrate on his education, and Jerry also decided to join the Air Force Reserve in which he served for a few years. At about that time, Jerry appeared in an episode of the 1960s TV series “Batman”, and an episode of the adventure TV series “Lassie” in 1968.

Jerry Mathers graduated from the University of California with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy in 1973. A few years later, he decided to finally return to full-time acting by appearing in the theatre play “Boeing, Boeing” in 1978, and in the same year appeared in an episode of the American comedy series “Flying High”. Over the next few years he has starred in a few movies and television shows but still the more significant roles which increased Jerry’s net worth were those related to his past in “Leave it to Beaver”. He starred in a reunion movie which was made in honor of the popular show and was titled “Still the Beaver” in 1983. On the same year, CBS released the sequel TV series “The New Leave it to Beaver”, in which Jerry starred for six years.

Jerry made his debut on Broadway stage in 2007 when he appeared as Wilbur Turnblad in the popular award-winning musical “Hairspray”, a role which might have also raised his net worth.

In his personal life, Jerry Mathers is currently married to Teresa Modnick. Previously, Jerry had been married to Diana Platt, then to Rhonda Gehring with whom he has three children: son Noah and two daughters – Mercedes and Gretchen.
