Sherwood Bailey (August 6, 1923—August 6, 1987) was an American former child actor, most notable for appearing as the red-headed, freckle-faced Spud in the Our Gang short subjects series from 1931 to 1932.
Bailey's most notable appearance was that of the spoiled, bratty step-brother of Wheezer and Dorothy in 1931's Dogs Is Dogs. He is nearly convinced by Stymie that ham and eggs can talk, and is later pushed down a well by his own dog, Nero.
Bailey quietly left the film industry in 1940. He died of cancer in 1987 on his 64th birthday [1].
