JOHN PROVOST

John Provost is an American actor that had his first appearance on screen in 1954 for The Country Girl, starring Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly, when he was only four years old. Provost played Timmy’s character only from 1957 until 1964. For seven seasons, audiences grew to love Timmy and his adventures with Lassie. Because he chose not to renew his contract, so the show still went on even without him. He still continued acting in films and on television but goes to a halt on his career to go to college and get a degree.

Many people would most-likely remember him for his Timmy Martin role on the fourth longest-running Primetime TV show, Lassie, from the year 1954 to 1973. Amazingly, the show he joined in had nineteen seasons with 591 episodes. Provost had won two Emmy Awards for this.
