His only Leave It To Beaver credit on IMDB is as "2nd Boy".

His role on Twilight Zone was a slightly more prominent supporting role. The episode was called "The Fugitive" about an alien fugitive who is helping a lame little girl. Great performances by character actor J Pat O'Malley as the fugitive and child actress Susan Gordon as the little Girl. Nancy Kulp also had a supporting role. Eimen played the pitcher on the neighborhood kids baseball team.
