Fans of the early '90s Little Rascals reboot will recall the gangly, loveable child who
captured our hearts with his one-of-a-kind cowlick.
But since then, Bug Hall, the actor who played Alfalfa, grew up, grew a beard, and settled
down.
Let's check out exactly what he's been up to since he ditched those adorable suspenders.
Sup, LiLo?
Back when she was still a fresh-faced Disney star, Lindsay Lohan starred opposite Hall
in Disney Channel's Get a Clue.
Lohan portrayed the classic rich, popular girl who falls in love with Hall's character,
the adorable nerd she once despised.
Though Hall had yet to fully transform into his "lumbersexual" look — which Buzzfeed
describes as a dude who sports flannel and a beard but doesn't actually make a living
chopping wood — he had already become almost unrecognizable from his Little Rascals days.
PB & ewww!
Hall completely shed his child-star persona with a lead role in American Pie Presents:
The Book of Love.
During an interview with Crave Online, Hall described returning-original American Pie
star, Eugene Levy, as a sort of mentor throughout the experience.
But there was another bonus for Hall, who at the time of the shoot was in his early
twenties.
"Naked women, right?
I mean, hey, it's work, and there's boobs in my face.
I don't know if you can really complain about that."
Straight adult male status confirmed.
He's a wild hog
In August 2013, Hall tweeted about his first motorcycle accident, which he had in 2003.
He broke 17 bones and, yet, he still got back on his hog.
In fact, Hall is a lifelong enthusiast who claims that he's "totaled" 12 of the 16 bikes
he's owned, according to People.
And his passion for them hasn't downshifted since he got his first bike at 14 years old.
He told the mag,
"I've been cross-country 10 plus times.
Then halfway across cross-country 40 times or so."
And perhaps unsurprisingly, in early 2016 Hall landed the role of Arthur Davidson in
Discovery Channel miniseries, Harley and the Davidsons.
Pay to play
Playing one of the founders of Harley-Davidson was not only a dream role for Hall, but one
he was seemingly born to play.
But the shoot wasn't exactly a smooth ride.
Set in the early 1900's, the miniseries features many early model bikes that weren't equipped
with modern safety features, like, you know...brakes.
Hall told Hemmings Daily that his own ignorance about the dangerous nature of the bikes resulted
in a broken collarbone.
But he was still revved up about the experience, telling Collider,
"I will always bring these associations when I hear any motorcycle, but especially when
I hear or see any Harley-Davidsons."
Bearded Bug
Years before Justin Timberlake rebranded himself as "Man of the Woods," Hall and a bunch of
other woodsman cosplayers donned plaid shirts, a glop of beard oil, and gave birth to the
"lumbersexual" look.
And when the kid who played Alfalfa reappears years later, looking like the offspring of
Paul Bunyan and a Brooklyn barber, the internet breaks.
Hall has since gone back to the clean-shaven look, but don't worry, he's still just as
manly as when he rocked a sweet face-fro.
He put a ring on it
According to Us Weekly, Hall wed Jill Marie DeGroff in February, 2017.
He commemorated the occasion on Instagram with one particularly sweet caption that read:
"Experiencing the world with a new candle by my side has been, so far, the greatest
joy of my life."
That is, until baby made three...
Poppa Bug
Hall and his wife welcomed their first child, a baby girl, in November 2017.
Hall announced the pregnancy, writing, "Our little rascal is about 6 centimeters, but
I love this tiny living human person already."
And the doting dad hasn't stopped posting about his little girl — including side-by-side
comparison shots of his daughter, and Alfalfa, writing, "Yup, she's mine."
Lone Star at heart
Though he headed for Hollywood when he was just 9 years old, Hall is originally a Texan
who still clearly calls the Lone Star State home.
Hall said that even though he no longer lives there, in his heart he'll always be a Longhorn.
He told the Star-Telegram,
"My family lives in Weatherford.
[...] I love nothing better than sitting out on my granddad's property and watching the
sun go down over the hills.
That's home to me."
Master of his domain
In a 2016 interview on WCIU morning show, You & Me, Hall revealed that he takes time
away from Tinseltown, to "focus on his company."
"I write as well...you know, so my agents are like you know I take these huge two year
sabbaticals to write and go focus on my company."
He also mentioned his production company twice in an interview with Hemmings Daily, saying,
"Several of my buddies and I decided to take time off to start a company, and we all agreed
to not accept any acting roles in order to spend more of our time writing and developing
our own story ideas."
Hall has yet to post any writing or producing credits to his IMDb, but he says,
"I think that if you have a passion for something, you should just do that something."
