Trenton Lawson "Trent" Lehman (February 23, 1961 – January 18, 1982) was an American child actor best known for his role as Butch Everett on Nanny and the Professor. He also played a young Christine Jorgensen in The Christine Jorgensen Story, and appeared in episodes of Gunsmoke and Emergency!.
On January 18, 1982, Lehman died after he hanged himself on a chain link fence outside of Vena Avenue Elementary School in Pacoima, California. He had attended the school before being withdrawn to become an actor. Lehman's death, along with those of two other former child actors, Rusty Hamer and Tim Hovey, inspired Paul Petersen to found A Minor Consideration, an advocacy group for child stars.
