Where Are They Now: “The Little Rascals” Edition

 

Nearly twenty-two years ago, the children’s classic The Little Rascals premiered in theaters, endearing itself to audiences across the country. Based on Hal Roach’s Our Gang, a series of short films which were eventually incorporated into the original 1950s television show, the movie featured the beloved cast of characters in an updated setting and gave them new challenges to face. Nevertheless, the nostalgia factor was prominent enough to attract old fans as well as new ones; after all, who could resist revisiting Spanky, Buckwheat, Alfalfa, Darla and the whole “He Man Woman Haterz Club” and going on adventures with them once again?

Without a doubt, the film and its cherished group of youngsters remain near and dear to our hearts, so much so that the cast seems frozen in time. However, this is not the case; even though we might not want to believe it, the young actors and actresses have grown up and moved on to other things. So, where are the cast of The Little Rascals now? Let’s find out!
