Was picked to succeed David Cassidy as Keith Partridge on The Partridge Family (1970). But this didn't work out because the series was canceled following Cassidy's departure.
As a gimmick, he had himself billed as simply "Wesley" in the credits of Land of the Lost (1974). This ploy hardly worked as it was intended to; in fact, Eure regrets the effort to this day.
ABC wanted Eure for the role of "Gopher" on The Love Boat (1977), but this fell through because NBC wouldn't release Wes from his contract (he was starring on Days of Our Lives (1965) at the time).
