Description

You remember them as kids. But what happened after the cameras stopped?

Hosted by former child actors from The Little Rascals, Jordan Warkol and Blake Collins reconnect with fellow child stars to talk about what growing up in Hollywood was really like and what life looks like now.

This isn’t a “what went wrong?” podcast—no clickbait, no forced trauma.

Just real conversations about identity, family, burnout, reinvention, and growing up a little too early.

Each episode comes back to one question: “Tell us about the call that changed your life?”, the origin story of how it all started.

From on-set memories to life after fame, these are the stories you didn’t hear., but will love diving into now with a whole new sense of nostalgia.

From our childhood to yours, Welcome, to The Not So Little Rascals!

Kiami Davael: Matilda

Kiami Davael: Matilda

2026-09-0301:04:12

We sit down with Kiami Davael, who a whole generation knows as Lavender, Matilda's loyal best friend in the 1996 classic. Kiami's "first call" story starts with a dream she'd had since age three, and a mom who told her that while there was only one Whitney Houston, she could be the best Kiami there ever was. Kiami takes us from a small town in Kentucky to Los Angeles, where an agent fought to get her in the room for a role that wasn't written for a girl who looked like her, until Mara Wilson'...

Justin Cooper: Liar Liar

2026-08-1301:09:12

We sit down with Justin Cooper, the kid who played Max Reede, Jim Carrey's son in the 1997 blockbuster Liar Liar. Justin's "first call" story is a good one: he was standing in line at a Kinko's when his mom got word that Jim Carrey wanted to meet him first, just to make sure the two of them clicked before the cameras rolled. Justin was working before most kids can read, starting with a Domino's commercial at four and rolling into his own series The Boys Are Back, two years on General Hospital...
We sit down with Miko Hughes, who started working younger than anyone we've talked to yet, having been just over two years old when he played Gage Creed in the 1989 horror classic Pet Sematary. His story starts before he could even walk, when his mom heard him spell a word from his car seat and decided, on the spot, to take him to Hollywood. She spent nine months getting past the front desk of the biggest kids' agency in town, and once she did, Miko booked the first three things he ever went ...
We sit down with Natanya Ross, known to a generation as Robyn Russo, the dark, sharp, unforgettable heart of The Secret World of Alex Mack. Natanya's story starts earlier than almost anyone's, on stage as a baby and on Broadway before she ever set foot in Hollywood. We get into the call that changed her life & pulled her family west, the audition that was only supposed to last three episodes and turned into one of Nickelodeon's most beloved characters, and what it was like to grow up on c...
Marty York: The Sandlot

Marty York: The Sandlot

2026-06-1101:29:43

We sit down with Marty York, known to a generation as Yeah-Yeah from the 1993 classic The Sandlot. Marty takes us back to how it all started, the audition that changed direction at the last minute, and what it was really like being part of a movie that became a phenomenon long after the cameras stopped rolling. We get into the highs, the harder chapters, the money, the reinvention, and the long road that led him back to telling his own story on his own terms. It's funny, it's honest, and it'...
