He was one of the originals. He made it when there were no laws to protect child actors, and was told his dog had been shot to make him cry for a scene. His biography is really interesting with stories from the golden age of Hollywood.

The studio said he had to cry in each movie.

Another really good Child actor that made good throughout his career. He was an original Our Gang actor, played the son in the original The Champ with Wallace Beery, and appeared in so many movies and Television shows they can't be listed here. He was also Perry White in the Movie series of Superman with Christopher Reeve.

very much overrated.

good child actor. saw him in The Our Gang shorts. as a child in movies they always seemed to give him at least one scene where he had to cry. {guess he was good at crying on cue} made it well into adult roles.
