Timothy Daniel Considine, known as Tim Considine (born December 31, 1940, in Los Angeles, California) is an American former child actor and young adult actor of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He later became a writer, photographer, and automotive historian.
Considine was born to a show business family. His mother, Carmen, was of half Greek ancestry. His maternal grandfather was theater magnate Alexander Pantages, while on his father's side, John Considine, Jr., he is of Irish descent and grandson of Pantages' rival vaudeville impresario John Considine. His older brother is actor John Considine, to whom he bears a striking resemblance. His uncle Bob Considine was a King Features Syndicate columnist.
In 1953, Tim Considine costarred with Red Skelton in The Clown, a remake of the 1931 movie The Champ which costarred Wallace Beery and Jackie Cooper.
Considine's most noted acting roles were in the 1955–1957 Disney TV serials Spin and Marty (he played Spin) and The Hardy Boys (he played older brother Frank opposite Tommy Kirk as Joe), both of which appeared in 15-minute segments on the Mickey Mouse Club; in the Disney show Swamp Fox as Gabriel Marion, nephew of Francis Marion; in the Disney motion picture The Shaggy Dog; and as the eldest son, "Mike Douglas", in the first years of the long-running television series My Three Sons, when it aired on ABC. In both The Shaggy Dog and My Three Sons, he starred with Fred MacMurray.
