Carl “Alfalfa”Switzer is a very talented actor who made millions of fans entertain throughout his career. i've been watching his shows since i was in middle school and first time i saw him was in Our Gang’s ,"Hearts are Thumps", the scene when the bubbles came out from his mouth while singing is what amused me. i collected all of his shows and movies. Beside Our Gang series, i watched his other shows, such as Roy Rogers, Gas House Kids, and movies like "On our Merry Way" with Jimmy Stewart. what i admire most about Carl is that his personalities shines through and for that, i always adore him. Carl is the most versatile person ever, from acting, music, working on other jobs such as nature and hunting guide, and a dog breeder. it goes to show that he was a very hard worker and how he was struggling through in supporting his family. as a fan, i love him so much. and if i can say anything to Carl, it'd be, "you are a wonderful and talented human being, and i hope you are at peace.

Words can`t express how much love I have for this guy. I`m sad I managed to mess up his entire profile nearly a year ago, which I had worked hard to pay in tribute. He, to this day has been misunderstood by the media. They have done nothing but flame this delightful character actor. Many half-truths have been said about him. I`m an avid collector of his work, not neglecting his *entire* teenage & adult career having almost all titles he has been in. I`m confident in saying he`s a true icon in American Pop Culture. All of his characters were gold. These `Historians` never invested the time to actually LEARN about his life. They only bring up the Urban Legend of what his life `became`. I, having been a true fan since age 5, am pretty sure I could write a book about him. In a positive and respectful manner.
