Joe Cobb
Joe Frank Cobb (November 7, 1916 – May 21, 2002) was an American child actor, most notable for appearing as the original "fat boy" in the ''Our Gang'' comedies from 1922 to 1929. Some sources such as the first edition (1977) of ''Our Gang: The Life and Times of the Little Rascals'' documented him as being born in 1916 or 1917.
==Early life and career==
Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma on November 7, 1916, Cobb auditioned for producer Hal Roach's ''Our Gang'' comedy series at the age of five in 1921. He joined the gang in early 1923 after starting production the fall of 1922. His first silent short was ''The Champeen'' in January 1923. Cobb appeared in the ''Our Gang'' series' last silent film, ''Saturday's Lesson'', and its first talking short, ''Small Talk'', both in 1929. Although ''Small Talk'' was released June 15, 1929, ''Saturday's Lesson'' was released November 9, 1929.
He was a recognizable character, with chubby cheeks and a trademark beanie cap. Some sources indicate that his final film with the Gang was ''Bouncing Babies''; however, he does not appear onscreen in that short. His last film as a regular cast member was the previous entry ''Boxing Gloves'' in 1929 when he was 12. In all he appeared in 86 ''Our Gang'' episodes during the seven years from 1922 to 1929. Cobb also appeared in three cameo appearances during the 1930s, ''Fish Hooky'' in 1933, ''Pay as You Exit'' in 1936, and ''Reunion in Rhythm'' in 1937.
After his acting career ended in the early 1940s, Cobb became an assembler for North American Aviation, a division of Rockwell International. He retired in 1981 at age 65.
