Bug Hall from Little Rascals seeks help for sixth child

Brandon 'Bug' Hall launched a GoFundMe for his sixth child after falling behind on bills despite a six-year vow of poverty.

Hall, 41, opened a fundraiser on Friday. Hall said he had avoided asking for help for six years and had 'really needed' it.

Hall and his wife moved their family to rural Arkansas where they attempt to live off-grid on 80 acres. Hall revealed he had taken a vow of poverty, giving his childhood earnings to charity and stepping away from Hollywood.

With his sixth baby less than a month away, he needs help paying bills and preparing their camper. His original goal was $2,000; the fundraiser eventually raised $21,686.

Hall's last acting role was in 2024's Cabrini; he appeared in American Pie and 90210 earlier in his career.
