Billie "Buckwheat" Thomas ~born March 12, 1931 in Los Angeles, California

🎞 American child actor best remembered for portraying the character of Buckwheat in the Our Gang (Little Rascals) short films from 1934 until the series' end in 1944.

He remained in Our Gang for ten years, appearing in all but one of the shorts, Feed 'em and Weep  due to sickness; fellow child actor Philip Hurlic filled in for him.

Thomas's Buckwheat character was often paired with Eugene "Porky" Lee as a tag-along team of "little kids" rallying against (and often outsmarting) the "big kids", George "Spanky" McFarland and Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer.

The "Buckwheat" and "Porky" characters both became known for their collective garbled dialogue, in particular their catchphrase, "O-tay!" originally uttered by Porky, but soon used by both characters. Thomas was the only cast member to appear in all 52 of the MGM produced entries and was the only holdover from the Hal Roach era to remain in the series until its end in 1944.

The work of Thomas and the other black cast members as actors is credited with helping the cause of race relations by playing alongside white children and going to school with them as equals in a desegregated show during the height of the Jim Crow Era. Thomas and the others were "considered saviors in many ways" by the black community as the most popular black stars in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. (d; 1980 in Los Angeles, California, aged 49)
