Meet Jon Provost The Original Timmy From TV’s Lassie at HighLifeStyle Show

“I’ve been a fan of cannabis since the mid ’60s — not only for its euphoric effects but also its medicinal qualities. And I am still a fan of this amazing God-given plant.”

Jon Provost is a national treasure. The checkered shirt and jeans he wore for seven years as Timmy on TV’s “Lassie” hang in The Smithsonian, next to Archie Bunker’s chair. “Lassie” continues to air in 50 countries, and Jon receives letters and email from fans of all ages around the world. Jon was already a seasoned professional when he won the role of Timmy at age seven. He was not even three when he was cast as Jane Wyman and Sterling Hayden’s son in “So Big”. During his career as a child actor and teen heart throb, he worked with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood: Grace Kelly and Bing Crosby in “The Country Girl”, Natalie Wood and Robert Redford in “This Property is Condemned”, Rod Steiger and Anita Ekberg in “Back From Eternity”, Clint Eastwood in “Escapade in Japan”, Kurt Russell in “The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes”, and on television with Kim Novak, Jack Benny, James Garner – and even with that famous talking horse, Mr. Ed!

By the time Jon Provost was nineteen, he’d worked in film and television for sixteen years. With a strong desire to try something new, he headed for Northern California and college. The beauty of the wine country seduced him; Jon never returned to L.A., preferring eventually to raise a family in Sonoma County. Of his many accomplishments, he is most proud of his children, Ryan and Katie, and he is over the moon about his grandchildren, 8- year-old Juliana and 3-year-old Lucas. Jon has also earned a nationwide reputation as a philanthropist, giving his time to children’s hospitals, animal shelters, and humane societies. For 25 years, he served on the Board of Governors for Canine Companions for Independence, an organization that provides free service dogs to the handicapped. He is also an advocate for US military K-9 teams.

Throughout his career, Jon has received many awards. Among them is The Motion Picture Council’s award for Outstanding Contribution as a Humanitarian for his dedication in helping the physically challenged, the Allen Ludden Humanitarian Award (presented by Betty White) and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Youth in Film Association. In 1994, Jon was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Jon returned to television as Timmy, this time all grown up, in “The New Lassie” with Dee Wallace in 1990. He received a Genesis Award for Outstanding Television in a Family Series for a story he penned for the show focusing on the inhumane treatment of research animals.

Jon Provost celebrated his 50th anniversary as Timmy with the release of his autobiography, TIMMY’S IN THE WELL. It is due to be re-released with an update later this year. In recent years, he added the internet to his resume, directing and hosting short videos about dogs and cats for a Purina website, as well as guesting in a commercial for a retail furniture chain. He’s very excited about voicing a robot who is the faithful protector of the main character in the soon-to-be-released sci-fi film Colonials. “The producer called me because he wanted to recreate the relationship I had with Lassie,” says Jon. “But this time, I’m Lassie!”
