(b. 1941) Tommy Kirk is an American former actor and later a businessman. He is best known for his performances in a number of highly popular movies made by Walt Disney Studios such as Old Yeller (1957, and The Misadventures of Merlin Jones (1964), as well as beach party movies of the mid 1960’s. He made his stage debut opposite Will Rogers, Jr. and led to a role on TV Reader's Digest, "The Last of the Old Time Shooting Sheriffs” (1955). Working steadily in TV, he starred in episodes of Frontier (1956) and The Californians (as Billy Kilgore in "Little Lost Man"(1957). He completed two years with the Mickey Mouse Club, (1956-1957) but was very unhappy working there. Much later, he would disclose that he was desperately lonely as a closeted gay. This anguish eventually led to drug addiction. Kirk has since left acting, become sober and is no longer resentful or blaming others for his problems during that time.
