JOSEPH AND MICHAEL MAYER | 67

The identical twin brothers, Joseph and Michael Mayer will forever be etched on everyone¡¯s minds for playing the role of Little Ricky in I Love Lucy Show as toddlers from 1953 to 1955. However, one of them decided to quit acting and continued having a normal life. Born and raised in Los Angeles, the twins were the sons of Eva June and Max Mayer. The Mayer twins made their TV debut on April 20, 1953, in the episode ¡°No Children Allowed.¡±

Joseph returned from acting and decided to do missionary works. He is now an ICT. On the other hand, Michael continued his acting career but eventually left the show business, too. Now that they are both retired, Michael is currently working as a special education teacher. As they now have different careers and separate lives, they may be making some investments of their own to have something for themselves.
