Description / Finding Waldo
From “Little Rascal” to Adventist Pastor.
Born Darwood Kenneth Smith at the start of the Great Depression, Darwood’s parents recognized his talent and moved the family to Hollywood. By 13, he had already acted alongside movie greats Barbara Stanwyck, Clark Gable, Katherine Hepburn, Lucille Ball, Jackie Cooper and Robert Blake. But Darwood is best known for his role as Waldo, the snooty rich kid, in Our Gang. He spent four years in the spotlight, enjoying the antics of Alfalfa, Spanky, Darla, and the rest of the Gang. These movies later became the after-school television series The Little Rascals.
With a promising career ahead of him, Darwood watched as two roads emerged: one led to the spotlight on center stage for a season, the other to the longest running feature of all time – a child of God for eternity. Which would he choose?
Finding Waldo is the inspiring story of Seventh-day Adventist pastor and missionary Ken Smith and the gracious pursuit of the Holy Spirit.

The book is the telling of a conversion story, from Hollywood actor to missionary and preacher, and it was told wonderfully; the best read I have experienced in many years. I read it while on vacation and found myself weaving the story line into all my conversations upon my return. I finally chose to develop the story into a sermon. Only after telling the story to everyone in my congregation could I let the subject rest.
Many thanks to David Smith for sharing his father's journey with us.
