- His mother enrolled him in a dramatic class to overcome his self-consciousness. His gravel voice was exploited by an MGM talent scout. After his test and positive public reaction he was signed to a term contract to Our Gang. His favorite sport was bicycling. After Our Gang was over, Froggy was riding double on a motorized scooter with a friend delivering newspapers on a old three-lane highway in La Puente. Froggy was the passenger, his friend 'John Wilbrand' was driving and did a sudden U-turn into the front of a truck that hit and ended up killing Froggy who died around 6 hours later in the hospital. Froggy's friend John Wilbrand who was driving only suffered minor injuries. His older brother Tom said that he was just a normal type of kid in high school, doing well, when this accident occurred. After the gang, he did try out in some feature films, but he told his mother he wasn't interested in continuing with that. So his career in movies came to an end.

- Music Department
Oscar Bradley was the musical director for the Gulf Screen Guild Show, beginning with its radio premiere in January 1939. The series featured noted Hollywood actors who donated their time for the establishment of a home for retired actors. Bradley stayed on through the name change to the Gulf Screen Guild Theater until January 1942, when Gulf Oil Corporation's sponsorship ended and Lady Esther continued the series. Besides providing orchestral interludes, Bradley and his group often played a part in the skits. Because of his diminutive size (this researcher has been unable to uncover just how short he really was), Oscar Bradley was the willing butt of jokes made weekly by the visiting stars, though his come-back lines were equally witty.
