The man who played “Butch” has died.

I was never a big “Little Rascals” fan, but on a personal note, I was serving on jury duty in LA about fifteen years ago, and I got called to a panel in which he was a civil litigant (plaintiff, I think), and we were asked a number of questions about if we’d seen the series, and recognized the characters, and so on, to determine if any of us would be biased against someone who played a famous bully. We ended up getting dismissed before trial, I think because they decided to settle once they saw that there was a jury, and that this was really going to happen (which is one of the purposes of empaneling a jury).
