Among the films Mr. Lee appeared in were "Bored of Education (1936)" which won the Oscar for best one-reel short subject.

His entire acting career was spent working in Our Gang shorts, and one feature, "General Spanky". He never appeared in any other films.

Lee often played Spanky's younger brother in the films. Ironically, Spanky McFarland was born in Dallas, TX, and Porky Lee was born in its sister city, Fort Worth.
