Alfalfa and Spanky are characters from the classic American short film series "Our Gang," also known as "The Little Rascals." Alfalfa, played by Carl Switzer, is known for his distinctive cowlick hairstyle and his affection for the character Darla. Spanky, portrayed by George McFarland, is the group's leader and often comes up with schemes and antics for the gang. The series, which ran from the 1920s to the early 1940s, focused on a group of children and their adventures.
There was no "Spanky" character in the silent Our Gang films in the 1920's. Harry Speer (who performed under his own name) may be the closest to the Spanky character in the early "our gang" films, where the main leads were played by Mickey Daniels, Mary Kornman, "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison, "Farina" Hoskins, and Joe Cobb as the fat boy.
