Actor Jordan Warkol, known for ‘Little Rascals,’ said he worked at McDonald’s after child-star fame

A former child actor tied to the classic “Little Rascals” film, Jordan Warkol, has said he worked at McDonald’s after becoming widely known for his role as a child, according to an Aug. 1 report by Page Six.

The report, citing Warkol’s account, describes a shift away from Hollywood during his teen years, when he opted for day-to-day work rather than continuing to pursue acting at the same pace as a child star.

Page Six also notes that Warkol’s background in the “Little Rascals” franchise came with a level of fame that can be difficult to outgrow, even for performers who want to return to ordinary routines as they get older.

In the same coverage, a photo credited to Page Six features Warkol alongside Blake Collins, another actor associated with the original project, underscoring how the movie has remained a recognizable cultural touchstone decades later.

The McDonald’s work described by Warkol is presented in the report as part of a broader attempt to normalize his life after the attention that followed child-stardom, including the transition many former child performers face as they age out of early roles.

The Page Six account does not provide additional documents in the report about the timeline of the employment or the nature of Warkol’s duties, nor does it specify whether the job was temporary or part of a longer period outside entertainment.

Neither the outlet nor the account detailed whether Warkol continued any acting-related work during the time he described stepping back, focusing instead on the practical choice to take a job outside Hollywood.

For fans and industry observers, the episode highlights how, for some performers, childhood fame can be followed by a deliberate turn toward jobs and community routines that are not centered on film schedules, public visibility, or industry casting demands.
