Stuart "Stu" Erwin (1903-1967) is an actor best known for Trouble With Father, later called The Stu Erwin Show (1950-1955). The sitcom co-starred Erwin's wife, actress June Collyer, to whom he was married from July 22, 1931 until his death on December 21, 1967. The couple acted together for 20 years before their television outing.

His other film credits include The Band Plays On (1934), I'll Take Romance (1937), Our Town (1940), and Son of Flubber (1963).

In addition to another series, The Greatest Show on Earth (1963-1964), he made several television movies and appeared as a guest star on shows like Crossroads (1957) to Gentle Ben (1967). June Collyer (1906-1968), born Dorothea Heermance in New York City, made her film debut in 1927. She had been retired for 15 years when she co-starred on her husband's television show, and she would make only one additional appearance on the small screen (Playhouse 90, 1958).
