Theodore "Beaver" Cleaver is the fictional character in the television series Leave It to Beaver. Played by Jerry Mathers, Beaver is the son of June and Ward Cleaver (Barbara Billingsley and Hugh Beaumont, respectively) and the younger brother of Wally Cleaver (Tony Dow). It was not until the last episode of the show that the writers revealed the origin of how young Theodore received his nickname. It turns out that when the boys were younger, Wally mispronounced Theodore's name as "Tweeter," and the name "Beaver" stuck ever since.
