Jon Provost, born March 12, 1950, in the heart of Los Angeles, was destined for stardom from an early age. By just seven, he had already charmed audiences as “Timmy Martin” on the legendary TV series *Lassie*. His journey began well before then, with standout roles in films like *So Big* and *The Country Girl*. But it was his role alongside the iconic collie that truly captured hearts. For seven thrilling seasons, viewers were enchanted by Timmy’s daring escapades and his unbreakable bond with Lassie.

As the final curtain fell on *Lassie* in 1964, Jon’s career took a quieter turn. He appeared in a handful of films such as *This Property Is Condemned*, but his focus shifted away from the limelight. Choosing a new path, Jon pursued a degree in psychology and embraced a serene life in Northern California, where he raised his family.

The 1990s saw a nostalgic return with *The New Lassie*, earning Jon a Genesis Award and rekindling his passion for the screen. He ventured into directing and hosting pet-related online content, showcasing his enduring love for animals. Today, Jon, who has weathered personal challenges and celebrated countless milestones, marks 50 years in the spotlight with his memoir, *Timmy’s in the Well*, and continues to captivate audiences in fresh, exciting ways.
