Former child actor Brandon “Bug” Hall launches GoFundMe to cover expenses before sixth child arrives

Actor Brandon “Bug” Hall, who played Alfalfa in the 1994 film The Little Rascals, announced on Friday that he has opened a GoFundMe page to raise money for household expenses as his wife prepares for their sixth child. Hall said the fundraiser is intended to cover "keeping bills paid" and getting a camper ready before the baby arrives, which is due in less than a month.

The 41-year-old, an Emmy nominee, explained that moving his family to a new home in Arkansas caused them to fall behind on some payments. He noted that the campaign has already exceeded its $2,000 target, raising more than $21,000.

"I didn’t want to offload the glorious burden of it unless there was no other choice. Well, here we are," Hall wrote in the fundraiser description.

Hall said he planned to close the page once the minimum amount was reached, but the campaign has been repeatedly reported, preventing its removal until the first funds are transferred.

He added that he is not seeking special treatment, stating, "Times are hard for everyone, and I’m no more deserving than anyone else, but I ask in your charity that you help where you can," and invited contributions, prayers, or simply sharing the page.

The actor, who has largely stepped away from Hollywood, previously said he was living on an 80-acre property in rural Arkansas with a goal of minimal reliance on personal income. He and his wife Jill, married since 2017, already have five children and are expecting their sixth.

Hall’s recent acting work includes a role in the 2024 historic drama Cabrini; his earlier credits feature appearances in American Pie Presents: The Book of Love, 90210 and The O.C..
