Pudgy-faced little Harry Spear grew up near the Hal Roach lot in Culver City. He reportedly appeared in a couple of Westerns prior to making his debut with the Our Gang team in The Glorious Fourth (1927). The tyke went on to appear in a total of 31 comedies, including five talkies before retiring at the old age of eight. Reportedly continuing his show business career in vaudeville, Spear made a screen comeback playing a bit part in The Patsy (1964).
