Gary Jasgur (November 8, 1935 â€" August 22, 1994) was an American
former child actor, most notable for appearing in the Our Gang short
film series from 1937 to 1939.Dark-haired Jasgur was cast as "Junior",
the infant brother of either Spanky or Darla. In his two years with
the Our Gang series, Jasgur did not have a single word of dialogue,
yet managed to make life miserable for his older sibling. He was
memorable as the pint-sized, banana-eating timekeeper in The Pigskin
Palooka and billed as the "world's smallest man" in Clown Princes.
Perhaps his most notable role was in Canned Fishing when Spanky and
Alfalfa are desperately trying to get out of babysitting little
Junior.At age 3, Jasgur left the series "before he knew he had been in
it," as film critic Leonard Maltin commented.Gary was actually
Jasgur's middle name, and in high school he preferred to be called
Mel. Jasgur married in 1956.
