Travis Tedford and Bug Hall (Born in 1988 and 1985, respectively)

Travis took on the role of Alfalfa's best buddy Spanky — until Alf's emotions for Darla got in the way! And that led to this classic monologue: "Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, Alfalfa."
Now: More than 20 years later, we have a feeling they're no longer part of the "He-Man Woman Haters" club! According to Travis' LinkedIn page, he's a Digital Coordinator at Texas Trust Credit Union. Bug is still an actor, with four films in the works. He also made a small cameo as the ice cream man in the 2014 direct-to-video film, The Little Rascals Save the Day.
