Actor

The Resume

    (October 25, 1933-October 16, 2005)
    Born in Fort Worth, Texas
    Part of Hal Roach's 'Our Gang' comedy troupe
    Acted in shorts 'Our Gang Follies of 1936' (1935), 'Bored of Education' (1936), 'Pay As You Exit' (1936), 'Roamin' Holiday' (1937), 'Mail and Female' (1937), 'The Awful Tooth' (1938), 'Three Men in a Tub' (1938) and 'Dog Daze' (1939)

Why he might be annoying:

    He had maybe the least flattering of all 'Our Gang' nicknames.
    His singing was even worse than Alfalfa's.
    Hired to play Spanky's chunky kid brother, he was let go when he lost his baby fat and grew as tall as Spanky.
    He was replaced by the later notorious Robert Blake.
    As an adult he changed his first name to 'Gordon' to distance himself from his 'Our Gang' days.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He (not Buckwheat as widely believed) originated the catchphrase 'O-tay!'
    Often paired on screen with Buckwheat, they were best friends off screen as well.
    When his film career ended, his parents put him in public school.
    He eventually became a teacher.
    He said of his 'Our Gang' days, 'My memories are not about making movies. We played with our toys and the adults played with theirs (cameras).'
