Charles Begore Smith (September 13, 1920 – December 26, 1988) was an American character actor.[1] He was born in Flint, Michigan.
He had notable roles in The Shop Around the Corner (1940) and The Major and the Minor (1942). (He also had a minor singing role in the film In the Good Old Summertime, the 1949 musical remake of "The Shop Around the Corner".) As a tall, gangly young man in his early twenties, he played high schooler Dizzy Stevens, the sidekick of Henry Aldrich, in nine Aldrich Family films between 1941 and 1944.[1][2] He also played Collins, the senior U.S. Senate page boy in the 1941 film Adventure in Washington. He later had recurring roles in several TV series.
