Brandon Cruz | The Courtship of Eddie’s Father
American actor and singer Brandon Cruz is famous for his role as Eddie Corbett on the television show The Courtship of Eddie’s Father. Aside from his work as a child star, Cruz is also a punk rock musician, performing for bands like Flipper and Dr. Know.
Following the cancellation of the show we’ve just mentioned, the actor appeared in several guest appearances in Gunsmoke, Kung Fu, and The Incredible Hulk. By the late ’70s, he turned his attention to punk rock, with his band releasing several records and touring Europe. Reflecting on his life as a former child star, which has sadly brought tragedy to many others, Cruz revealed in American Profile that “surfing and punk rock” saved his life. In 1991, he took the credit with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Young Artist Foundation for his past acting work.
