Ronald Le Roy Overacker (May 12, 1932 – July 28, 2001), better known by his stage name Baby LeRoy, was an American child actor who appeared in films in the 1930s.

[1] Born in Los Angeles, California, Baby LeRoy's career began when he was less than one year old, co-starring with Maurice Chevalier in A Bedtime Story, and ended with a cameo role as himself in Cinema Circus (1937).

"[2] LeRoy is perhaps best remembered for a dinner table sequence in the W. C. Fields comedy The Old Fashioned Way (1934) in which he throws a handful of custard into the comedian's face, yanks on his nose, and destroys his pocket watch by tossing it into a bowl of molasses.

"[4] Whether or not this animosity was legitimate, it greatly contributed to the popular impression of Fields, as famously summed up by Leo Rosten at a 1939 testimonial event: "The only thing I can say about Mr. W. C. Fields, whom I have admired since the day he advanced upon Baby LeRoy with an icepick, is this: Any man who hates dogs and babies can't be all bad.

[6] Overacker became a merchant seaman[7] and in 1957, as an adult, appeared as a guest challenger on the TV panel show To Tell the Truth.
