Travis took on the role of Alfalfa's best buddy Spanky — until Alf's emotions for Darla got in the way! And that led to this classic monologue: "Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, Alfalfa."

Now: More than 20 years later, we have a feeling they're no longer part of the "He-Man Woman Haters" club! According to Travis' LinkedIn page, he's a Digital Coordinator at Texas Trust Credit Union.
