From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John K. Collum (June 29, 1926 – August 28, 1962) was an American child actor of the 1930s.

Born in Illinois, he was discovered by Hal Roach, and appeared in twenty-six of Roach's Our Gang comedies from 1932 to 1938. In several of these shorts, Collum portrayed a character named "Uh-huh", who answered most of his questions with a drawn-out "Uh-huuuuuh...". After 1933, John Collum was used as an extra when many children were needed (for example classroom scenes).

Collum died on August 28, 1962 in Los Angeles, California of a heart attack. He is interred in the Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North Hollywood.
