He was an American actor and police officer who began his career as a child actor at the age of four by appearing in theater and films, and in the late fifties, he played the role of Eddie Haskell in the comedy TV series Leave Him to Beaver which continued for 6 seasons until 1963. The audience watched him move from childhood to adolescence in this role. He found it difficult to obtain other acting roles because of this famous role, so he joined the police force in Los Angeles until he retired due to occupational injuries as a result of being shot. In the eighties, he resumed his artistic career again. Ken Osmond was born to a father who worked as a carpenter and decorator in the studios.

After a period of conscription in the army, he returned to artistic work as a young man, but he did not find enough work, so he joined the police and worked in the traffic squad until he was shot with some bullets while chasing a fugitive criminal, which led to his retirement, returning to television work, and appearing in some films in supporting roles. His last appearance was in the 2016 movie Characterz, after which he retired until he died of a heart attack in 2020 at the age of 76.
