Alfalfa star Bug Hall surpasses $2,000 GoFundMe goal as sixth child approaches

Brandon “Bug” Hall, the actor best known for playing Alfalfa in the 1994 film The Little Rascals, has raised more than $20,000 for a GoFundMe campaign. The crowdfunding page exceeded its original $2,000 goal as of Sunday, according to the platform’s records.

Hall, 41, created the fund weeks before his family expects to welcome their sixth child. He lives on an 80-acre property in Arkansas with his wife, Jill, whom he married in 2017. The family moved to the land in January, where they plan to build their own home and live off the grid.

In the fundraising description, Hall explained that he needed assistance with specific costs. He cited phone bills, propane for his camper, and an unexpected electric hookup service fee. He stated that the baby is less than a month away and that he needs help securing these final items before the birth.

Hall told The Daily Mail in January that he had taken a vow of poverty. He said he left the entertainment industry because his career no longer aligned with his faith. In a 2025 YouTube video, he described himself as a radical Catholic extremist who made a firm decision to step away from acting.

He noted that he loved the work but found the change to be a hard realization. Reports indicated that he gave away most of his possessions and all of his savings when he adopted his new lifestyle. Hall acknowledged in the GoFundMe post that times are difficult for many people and asked for help through donations, shares, or prayer.

Hall has appeared in several other productions throughout his career. His filmography includes The Big Green, Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves, Hercules, Charmed, Cold Case, and CSI: Miami. He said his family is enjoying their current living situation despite the rough conditions.

The actor hopes to have his property ready and to work until the new baby arrives. The GoFundMe page remains active for those wishing to contribute to the remaining needs of the household.
