American actor "Richard Crenna" started out as a radio performer at age 11, demonstrating an astonishing range for one so young. The momentum of his career was unaffected by an army hitch and time spent earning an English degree at the University of Southern California. But even though he was by then in his twenties, Crenna found himself still playing adolescents, notably squeaky-voiced high schooler Walter Denton on the radio comedy "Our Miss Brooks". That he was able to play characters of virtually any age was overlooked by movie and TV casting directors, who could see Crenna only in callow-juvenile roles. After making an excellent impression as ballplayer Daffy Dean in the 1953 film "Pride of St. Louis", for example, Crenna wasn't cast in another film until the 1955 movie version of "Our Miss Brooks"--in which, at 29, he was Walter Denton once more.

Still, and despite solid Richard Crenna film performances in The Sand Pebbles (1966), Body Heat (1981) and The Flamingo Kid (1985), the actor has never completely escaped the spectre of Walter Denton. Crenna was able to conjure up the old adenoidal Denton voice on talk shows of the 1980s and 1990s, and in the action-film spoof Hot Shots: Part Deux, the actor, with an absolute straight face, portrayed Colonel Denton Walters! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

Not surprisingly, Richard passes on the trip to Hawaii in favor of an opportunity to kill the family dog. He loads Devil Dog into the station wagon, drives it to an isolated field some three hundred yards from his house, and starts shooting at it from a distance of ten paces. He misses - and misses - and misses - and misses. Finally, he leaves Devil Dog in the field and makes for home, only to find Devil Dog waiting for him when he gets there.
