As natural as Zachary Mabry was in “The Little Rascals,” one would have thought he’d have a long and successful career in acting. But life can be strange sometimes. “The Little Rascals” was his first movie, and in a brusque turn of events, it was also his last. Apparently, the cute little boy who played Porky preferred to live a more private life.
Zachary lives in Texas and makes his living as a senior accountant at American Airlines. He enjoys a normal life but uses social media to keep in touch with his fans.
Travis Tedford's Career
Travis Tedford was lucky to start his acting career playing a major role in a much-loved movie. But, after "The Little Rascals", it was hard for him to find different character types, as casting directors couldn’t separate Spanky from the actor.
Tedford appeared on "The Amanda Show" and in films like "Slappy and The Stinkers", "Freaky Friday" and, "The Final". Nowadays, he is working at Texas Trust Credit Union as a marketing specialist. He quit acting and earned a degree in liberal arts.
Zachary Mabry as Porky
Zachary Mabry was only four years old when he played the role of Porky. His innocence certainly shone through. He was so cute that fans would just giggle each time he was up along with his buddies Buckwheat, Petey the dog, and Elmer the monkey.
The gang would play Sherlock Holmes-type detective roles and would stumble upon a secret note, only to realize not one of them could read what was written on it. This was one of their more memorable parts in the movie.
Ross Bagley as Buckwheat
Porky and Buckwheat were two of the youngest characters and actors in the movie. Their two characters were always mischievously up to something. When the clubhouse got burned down by accident, the gang would try to find ways to raise $450 for the cost of the lumber to rebuild it.
Somehow, Porky and Buckwheat had a trick or two up their sleeves and were able to raise $500, albeit dishonestly. However, after being caught by their teacher, Miss Crabtree, the money was made a prize for winning the soapbox derby.
Ross Bagley's Career
Growing up, Ross Bagley was definitely inclined towards keeping the acting career he’d started. Unlike Tedford, he would keep landing roles after "The Little Rascals". In fact, Ross even had the opportunity to work alongside Will Smith in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," as Nicky. They worked together again in 1996, on "Independence Day."
Aside from voice work in "Babe" and "The Wild Thornberrys", he also appeared in "Gnome Alone" in 2015. To be able to pursue his career better, Bagley enrolled in California State University at Northridge to study cinema and television arts.
