Kevin Jamal Woods shot to fame was he was just a kid.
He became a household name as Stymie in The Little Rascals, but he’s continued to fly under the radar since then.
So where is Kevin Jamal Woods now?
Let’s investigate…
Kevin Jamal Woods
Kevin Jamal Woods is now 34 years old- which means he’s definitely outgrown the role of Stymie!
It turns out that the star ended up landing a few more acting roles, and his IMDb page has a few unexpected casting credits.
He starred in the 1993 Kevin Costner movie A Perfect World, and even provided the voice of one of the adorable puppies in the film Babe.

Kevin Jamal Woods also made multiple appearances in “Blossom” alongside Mayim Bialik. But this seems to be the last show that the actor starred in before dropping off the radar…
Moving On
With his IMDb resume as a reference, fans can assume that Kevin doesn’t act anymore. He hasn’t appeared in a film or TV project in more than 20 years now.
And unlike other child stars who faded out of the spotlight, he doesn’t seem to have much of a social media presence either.
His Facebook page isn’t really used that often, and though he invited fans to follow his weekly podcast back in 2015, Kevin’s show seems to be defunct today.
So what exactly is he up to?

Tyler Cameron: Who is the star dating?
While the star had become a familiar face on our screens, it wasn’t set to last.
Newsweek suggested that Kevin Jamal Woods took a bit different path after that last film appearance. He reportedly attended courses for audio engineering, then went on to get a regular job.
A recent update on Woods suggests that he now works in “marketing research”, and has therefore given up his acting.
However, it seems that the former child star has found a new passion; music.
Apparently he’s now a musician going by the name Darth Nivek (Kevin spelt backwards FYI) and has his own YouTube and SoundCloud channel.
It’s also been suggested that Kevin Jamal Woods now lives in Texas.
Reunion
Plenty of The Little Rascals cast have gone on to pursue unexpected careers- including accountancy and professional poker.
Jordan Warkol, who played Froggy, continued to work as an in-demand child actor, and provided voices for the likes of Hey Arnold and Rocket Power.
He then starred in The X Files, Baywatch and Walker, Texas Ranger. But he too decided to ditch the acting career, and is now a professional poker player.
Meanwhile, Brittany Ashton Holmes who played Darla had five more acting credits to her name before she chose to give up stardom. She now lives in LA with her husband.
In 2014, Kevin Jamal Woods and the rest of his old castmates decided to get together for a Rascals reunion. This was a huge celebration of the cult film’s 20th anniversary.

Matt Damon Net Worth: How much cash does the A-lister have?
LA-based production company 22 Vision decided to get the cast back together to recreate some of the most memorable images from the movie- but this was far from easy!
While Kevin and Jordan were happy to get involved, Brittany wasn’t so sure.
Brian Pocrass, 22 Vision’s founder, spoke about how hard it was to get Brittany involved.
“When I first reached out to her, she wasn’t into it.
Like a lot of child actors, she was guarded, but after we spoke on the phone for a while, she trusted me. This wasn’t about the tabloid. It was more about the film. It all stems from the fact that they just wanted to see each other.”
