Former child actor Sidney Kibrick is one of the last living cast member of the Our Gang (aka, "The Little Rascals") comedy short film series. He is among a handful of surviving cast who appeared in the classic Hal Roach productions and is certainly the only one who had significant screen time or would otherwise be remembered.
The freckle-faced Kibrick primarily played the character of "Woim" (perhaps a Brooklyn pronunciation of "Worm"), sidekick to bully "Butch," played by Tommy Bond. After threatening or clashing with the main Our Gang characters (usually Spanky and Alfafa) Butch would make his exit and deliver the catchphrase, "Come on Woim!" The Butch-Woim duo were recurring antagonists in the series and in total, Kibrick appeared in approximately 27 Our Gang shorts between 1933 and 1939. Kibrick later stepped away from acting and pursued a career in real estate and today he is 96 years old. Notably, just three years ago, he attended an exhibit at the Hollywood Museum honoring the 100th anniversary of the Our Gang series.
