Dwayne Bernard Hickman (born May 18, 1934) is an American former actor and television executive at CBS.
The normally brown-haired Hickman portrayed Chuck MacDonald, Bob Collins's (played by Bob Cummings) crazy teenaged nephew, on the 1950s NBC series The Bob Cummings Show (a.k.a. Love That Bob in reruns), and the blond title character in CBS's The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.
Born in Los Angeles, California, and raised Catholic, Hickman is the younger brother of child actor Darryl Hickman. He graduated from Cathedral High School in 1952 and intended to become a Passionist priest, but ultimately chose not to do so and attended Loyola University.
An early screen appearance was in the 1942 Our Gang comedy Melodies Old and New. Dwayne and Darryl co-starred in an early episode of the syndicated military drama Men of Annapolis, filmed at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. As a teen, he and Darryl guest-starred in a 1950 episode of The Lone Ranger titled Two Gold Lockets, and in 1955 he appeared in another episode titled "Sunstroke Mesa". He gained wide notice as "Chuck" on The Bob Cummings Show from 1955-59. At the time, he was studying at Loyola. Hickman was one of the first stars to have a breakout character in the series.
