Jay North today looks quite a bit like Jeb!
I’m glad he has survived and found stability.
I used to hear a lot from Jay the adult, about the abuse he dealt with during his years playing Dennis.

He does? That’s pretty cool! Who does he post as?
‘Jay North, the actor who played Dennis is still alive...’
hope so; he’s younger than I am...
I’m kind of enjoying being Mr. Wilson to the 3 boys next door. Curmudgeon living is fun. Now get off my lawn.
I bet that he has a lot of nice memories to recall about how well he was treated on set.
Regards,

RIP.
