He was actually an extra in "Grapes of Wrath" in 1934. While he made many, many TV appearances, he will always be known for "“The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis." His older brother, Daryl Hickman, who has also made many, many films, is still alive. Dwayne was always a good actor. He just never could shake that one roll. He was 87.

His brother Darryl acted, as well.
Dwayne will be remembered for Dobie, but I recall him from AIP films, especially Dr. Goldfoot.

As far as on screen stuff, no doubt he couldn't shake being "Dobie Gillis", but I never had the feeling he ever truly felt 'held back' because of it... But he did have a pretty good run behind the camera, so he did pretty well in show business overall.

Ahh that sucks, loved the show. RIP Dobie. I'm such a dope I didn't ever realize the show was the ,very obvious once you think about it, inspiration for Scooby Doo.You must try to generate happiness within yourself. If you aren't happy in one place, chances are you won't be happy anyplace. -Ernie BanksComment

The only thing I see in common between "Dobie Gillis" and "Scooby-Doo" is that Shaggy was kind of like Maynard G. Krebs (Bob Denver's character).Comment
