Mickey Daniels
Biography
Mickey Daniels was an American child actor whose career began when Hal Roach signed him in 1921. Born Richard Daniels Jr. on October 11, 1914, in Rock Springs, Wyoming, he was discovered by a talent scout at an amateur night. From 1922 to 1926 he was a main member of the Our Gang troupe, first appearing in the short Our Gang (1922) and last as a gang member in Thundering Fleas (1926). He was known for his red hair, freckles, large laugh, and physical comedy. Afterward he worked in vaudeville and bit parts, and from 1930 to 1932 he appeared with Mary Kornman in Hal Roach's The Boy Friends series. He also returned for cameos in sound-era Our Gang films, including Fish Hooky (1933), as a truant officer. He left film work after 1951 and later worked in construction engineering and as a taxi driver. He died in 1970.
