The autobiography of veteran stunt man Jesse Wayne includes discussion of his many credits doubling for Mickey Rooney (e.g., IT'S A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD), as well as his Stooges-credits in SNOW WHITE AND THE THREE STOOGES (1961) as Larry's stunt double, and THE OUTLAWS IS COMING (1965) both as Moe's stunt double and bit role as one of the town barflys.

From the back cover...

"Jesse Wayne appeared in over 500 TV productions and feature films, in addition to hundreds of live stunt show.  If this seems like a lot, it's because he began in the early days of Los Angeles' live television, when he was eight years old.  His most exhilarating experiences was meeting and working with the greatest actors, writers, producers and directors of the 20th Century."
