Character
Bio: Andy Samuel was one of the more peripheral Little Rascals. He did not pursue the irresistably cute Mary Kornman like Mickey Daniels nor did he have a brother to tease like Jackie Condon, but he was very much a part of several of their adventures. A resident of Mother Malone's Boarding School, he often joined the gang in games of baseball and football, becoming a part of their club The Cluck Cluck Klams in Lodge Night. He opened a barbershop with them in Big Business, pretended to be pirates in The Buccaneers and played on an abandoned track near the trainyards in The Sun Down Limited. In Every Man For Himself, he works with the gang in their shoeshine shop to earn spending money. He also takes time out for boxing exercise at the Rascals' 4th Ave. Athalatick Club in that same film. Andy is known for his impersonation of Charlie Chaplin, which he pulls off in both The Big Show and Jubilo Jr. He helps Mickey train for a boxing match in The Champeen, and joins Jack and Joe as they play pranks on some innocent audience members in Back Stage. Andy is occasionally seen performing some outrageous physical stunts, such as in The Buccaneers. In a few of the kids' adventures, Andy was seen as a rival member of the Rascals, such as in Giants Vs. Yanks and Dogs of War. But for the most part, Andy was just another one of the gang. Though often times taking a back seat to some of the other kids, Andy has gotten his share of plot-specific attention, such as when he hides in a female mannequin to lure a 'suspek' in The Mysterious Mystery.
