Unless I am mistaken, didn't Mickey Rooney appear in some of those films, I believe he was originally known as Mickey McGuire.

Thanks Pasquale, I didn't see his name on the list. His real surname was Yule, I believe his father Joe came from Scotland.

Mickey Rooney was not in "Our Gang / Little Rascals". He appeared in 78 shorts as Mickey McGuire from 1927 to 1936.

Isn't that the truth!

Carl Switzer (Alfalfa) was shot to death and his older brother Harold committed suicide following a fight in which he killed someone.

-Both after they outgrew Our Gang and faced life after their stars had faded.

My kid is easily cute enough for Our Gang, but we'd rather he gets involved in nothing more famous than the Scouts!

We were approached by a "talent agency" a few years ago. Of course it was a scam, but even if they were for real the answer is still "Go AWAY!!!!"

What Mickey Rooney was never in any Our Gang's comedies?
Pat I think you are thinking of Jackie Cooper playing Mickey McGuire?
