Walter "Spec" O'Donnell (1911 – 1986). American film actor. He appeared in 191 films between 1923 and 1978. He worked frequently for producer Hal Roach, often appearing in silent comedies as the bratty son of Max Davidson or Charley Chase. His sound-era roles were mostly uncredited bits, often as bellhops, newsboys, and pages; he was playing adolescent roles well into his twenties. He has the unusual distinction of playing the same role (a newsboy) in both an original film and its remake: Princess O'Hara and It Ain't Hay.
- "... he was one of those fellows born with red hair and more 'speckles' (hence his nickname) than a Georges Seurat painting." https://books.google.it/books?id=MwglDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA20...
- "Red-haired, freckled juvenile actor of the 1920s and '30s." https://books.google.it/books?id=7-DgDAAAQBAJ&pg=PA560...
