    If it's going around the internet, you could probably find out on snopes.com whether it's true or not. I don't care enough to bother.

    It would appear, according to IMDB.com (the World's Largest Internet Movie DataBase), that Mr. Blake (b. 1933) played a recurring character named Mickey Gubitosi from 1939 - 1944. Then in 1944 he started a recurring role as Little Beaver in the series "Red Ryder".

    So it seems that Robert Blake was not Spanky. According to IMDB, Spanky was played by George 'Spanky' McFarland. From his filmography, it would appear that there was little else he did on film after that.
