Me too…and just tonight my dad told me he was also one of the “Little Rascals”, which was well before my time. However, I grew up as a “Little Rascals” fan, but I wasn’t aware of Blake’s contribution as a child actor.

As they say, “you learn something every day, and if not, then you didn’t try hard enough “.

Anytime he was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was a must see. ALWAYS a funny interview with them talking about his temper. Not very many Little Rascals left. Maybe 2 or 3. That was a great show, as was the short lived Hell Town. RIP

Yep,starting out as "Mickey" on the "Little Rascals" and being pretty famous as "Baretta",he covered it. While having had his "Trials and Tribulations" along the way,the Man "Jumped Clean" at the end.. As Ol' Baretta used to say:"And You Can Take That To Da' Bank"...

With Sammy doing the theme song !

He was found liable for the death of his wife in civil court; not guilty in criminal court. Pretty sure he got away with murder.
