Im trying to figure out the name of this character in an old kids show... the character had a cowlick type hairdo lol with black hair I believe his name starts with a P...

Do you know what show it was?

I think you are talking about Alfalfa from "Our Gang"?

Nope its not alfalfa... but thts the hairdo I'm looking for lol... I think in the movie he's at sum circus or something

The guy that played him supposedly got accused of being a child malester

Are you talking about Pee Wee?
