Charles Herbert is a former American child actor
Child actor
The term child actor or child actress is generally applied to a child acting in motion pictures or television, but also to an adult who began his or her acting career as a child; to avoid confusion, the latter is also called a former child actor...

 of the 1950s and 1960s. Before reaching his teens, Herbert was renowned by a generation of moviegoers for an on-screen broody, mature style and wit that enabled him to go one-on-one with some of the biggest names in the industry, and his appearances in a handful of films in the sci-fi/horror genre have garnered him an immortality there. In six years he appeared in 20 Hollywood features.

Herbert supported his family from the age of five and went from being one of the most desired and highest paid child actors of his time to one of the multitude of performers Hollywood "discarded" upon reaching maturity. His situation and the lifetime of damage it created for him have only recently come to light.

Early life and career

Herbert was born Charles Herbert Saperstein in Culver City, California

. According to Herbert, his career began when he was discovered by an agent: "I just happened to be riding on a bus while on a shopping trip with my mother one day and a gentleman who was a talent agent in Hollywood, named Cosmo Morgan, saw me talking and must have thought I was cute or something. He gave me his card, which I immediately tried to give to the bus driver! That’s basically how it started."
Blue-eyed and freckle-faced, his first job was at age four on the television series, Half Pint Panel (1952). The Long, Long Trailer

During his peak he was performing non-stop with multiple projects completed each year. By 1959, Herbert had achieved a lofty place among the most desired and highest paid child actors of his time, making nearly $1650 per week. He had established for himself both the reputation and the nickname of "One-Take Charlie." Of his acting style, one reviewer described Herbert as, "Sincere, accurate, ever over-annunciated at times, like a storybook character come to life. An extraordinary child actor by any standard.

Quote

Personal life

Because of the studio attitude towards child actors of the time, Herbert has a keen interest in the child actors of today. "I lost a lot more than the financial things. Financial things are way down the list for me. The way that it’s set up in Hollywood is, I did 50 TV shows, the 20 movies, the commercials, all of that stuff... and when I turned 21, zero was put away in the bank for me. It was not that way for every (kid actor): If you signed a long-term contract, like for instance if you did Lassie
Lassie (1954 TV series)
Lassie is an American television series that follows the adventures of a female Rough Collie named Lassie and her companions, human and animal. The show was the creation of producer Robert Maxwell and animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax and was televised from September 12, 1954, to March 24, 1973...

 or something, they put away like five percent for you. But if you were not on a long-term contract, ALL of the money you earned for the movies, for ALL the TV things, went to your guardians, and your guardians could do with it whatever they saw fit." The only money put away for him until age 21 from his TV and film earnings was $1,700.
Describing his studio education as "non-existent," Herbert attended public schools (Melrose, Bancroft, Fairfax High

), rather than one of the private schools tailored to the unique needs of child actors. "My parents made that mistake, without malice; they were not too familiar (with the problems that child actors face)." He made up the story that he had a twin brother—-that it was not him his classmates were seeing in movies and on TV. Referencing his role in the sci-fi movie classic The Fly
The Fly (1958 film)
The Fly is a 1958 American science-fiction horror film, directed by Kurt Neumann. The screenplay was written by James Clavell , from the short story "The Fly" by George Langelaan...

, he says, "Back in those days, the very few people who did know I was an actor, when they were kidding me they’d go, Help me, help me, help meeee!"...

"Herbert was always happiest and at his best when he was performing. A talented actor, he felt secure and confident when the cameras rolled, but like many child actors, he faced difficulties adjusting to the real world beyond the controlled environment inside the studio walls. The career of a child actor often creates a profoundly troubling lack of identity at a difficult time, just after he has lost his commercial value" with the onset of puberty.

Unable to transition into adult roles, Herbert's personal life went downhill as well. With no formal education or training to do anything else and with no career earnings saved, he led a reckless, wanderlust life and turned to drugs.

Recent activity

With no family of his own, it took Herbert nearly 40 years to turn his life around. Clean and sober since August, 2004, his films, now reaching new generations of fans via DVD

Charles Herbert has appeared annually for the past 6 years in the celebrity lineup at the Monster Bash, held each June, at the Pittsburgh, PA Airport Four Points with his The Boy and the Pirates co-star Susan Gordon.
