Billy Booth, born William Allen Booth, played the role of Dennis? friend Tommy Anderson in Dennis the Menace (1959-1963). Booth was born in 1949 and was most well-known for his role on the sitcom. he went on to have appearances on the television shows The Andy Griffith Show (1964) and My Three Sons (1963-1967). After that, he decided that acting wasn?t going to be his ultimate goals in life, so, he retired from acting to become a lawyer and taught business law at Cuesta College and Cal Poly. On December 31, 2006, Booth passed away at the age of 57 from liver complications.

After his death, in an interview with Billy?s sister Bonnie, she noted, ?Billy got involved in television purely by accident. During a Little League game, someone approached my Mom and asked if she would mind if an agent contacted her. This person thought Billy would be just right for commercials. And that?s what happened. We lived in Southern California and were not far from Hollywood. He went on some interviews and started getting these jobs. But, Billy never was seeking out the entertainment business.? Sounds like a lucky break for Billy and he certainly made a name for himself during his short time on screen.
