![]() ![]() He played Mike Douglas on the popular ABC sitcom, acting alongside Don Grady and Stanley Livingston as his brothers. Perhaps his most well-known role was on the sitcom My Three Sons, which reunited him with Fred MacMurray in 1960. He followed this with a recurring role as Young Gabe Marion on The Swamp Fox, a serial for Walt Disney Presents starring Leslie Nielsen. He was reunited with both Tommy Kirk and Annette Funicello on the big screen in 1959 in The Shaggy Dog, which also starred Fred MacMurray. Annette Funicello, the breakout star of The Mickey Mouse Club, also earned her own serial, fittingly titled Annette, on which Tim played Steven Abernathy. This led to a second role on the show as Frank Hardy in The Hardy Boys, acting opposite Tommy Kirk, who was also at the start of his Disney career. His big break came in 1955 when he was cast as Spin Evans on The Adventures of Spin and Marty, a serial on the hit series The Mickey Mouse Club. Bit his biggest mark on entertainment wouldn’t be in film, but on television. ![]() ![]() It should come as no surprise that his entry into Hollywood was at MGM acting alongside Red Skelton in The Clown in 1953. His pictures of Joni Mitchell, one of which was used on her “Blue” album, are marvelous.Born on December 31st, 1940 in Los Angeles, Timothy Daniel Considine, was born into the entertainment business, his father an MGM producer and his mother the daughter of Alexander Pantages, the theater tycoon. He has sold many photographs for book covers, articles and advertising. Tim is as talented a photographer as he is a writer. Someone stole his camera at the July 1956 Cal Club race at Montgomery Field he only has shots of the Saturday events. Starting with a Kodak Pony 828 camera, he took hundreds of Kodachromes. Considine started taking photographs when he was a teen-entrant at sports car races. In addition to his acting, Tim wrote episodes of My Three Sons (in 1960) and Combat and Tarzan. In addition to being a regular in TV series, he had guest shots in more than 30 episodes including Gunsmoke, Ironside and Simon & Simon. During the sixties, he was Mike Douglas on My Three Sons. Harry did, but then Porsche came out with the RS60.Ĭonsidine first became involved in racing when he was a teen TV star playing Spin Evans in Spin and Marty, a popular series on The Mickey Mouse Club. After a few outings, Gene suggested that Harry Hanford could get more out of the car. Tim had to convince his mother that the Osca was a practical car for driving to the market. So Considine bought an Osca MT4, a somewhat faster car. The problem was that Bill Pollack and Frank Aldhous were faster. Tim’s first sports car was an Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. And he couldn’t falsify his age (like some of the rest!) since he was a well-known actor. Timothy Daniel Considine was born on December 31, 1940, so he didn’t qualify for a racing license until he was 21 in 1962. But he was a car owner and entrant in Southern California sports car races. From Art’s book: “Tim Considine is the only person in this book who didn’t drive in races during the fifties. Art took the portrait of Tim shown here in April 2003. Art Evans profiled Tim in his 2003 book Race Legends of the Fabulous Fifties. There are no plans for a memorial available at this time. Tim was a Fabulous Fifties “non-board member” and could always be counted on to support and sometimes host our Fabulous Fifties’ events. We are sad to report Tim Considine has unexpectedly passed away. ![]()
