Key Points:
- Brandon "Bug" Hall, former child actor known for "The Little Rascals," launched a GoFundMe campaign to help pay bills as he and his wife prepare for their sixth child, raising over $28,000 since Nov. 5.
- Hall faced criticism from some fans who urged him to get a "real job" and questioned why the fundraiser remained active after surpassing its $2,000 goal; he explained he could not delete it until the first funds transfer occurred.
- He described his financial struggles as a result of choosing to live simply and self-canceling his career six years ago, emphasizing that he sought help only as a last resort.
- Hall plans to delete the fundraiser within a few business days after GoFundMe completed its review and the funds were set for automatic transfer, though the campaign remained active as of Nov. 9.
- The actor and his wife Jill, married since 2017, have five children and currently live a modest lifestyle in Fort Worth, Texas, with Hall having left Hollywood in 2020.
