Carl Switzer’s Tragic Life: The Murder of Alfalfa

Pursuing His Hobbies

“Don’t get me wrong,” Carl said in 1953. “I didn’t quite Hollywood. I’m a guy who likes to eat, and I found I couldn’t do it without working. I would have stayed in Hollywood if I could have gotten picture jobs.” Unfortunately, he couldn’t, so he decided to focus on a hobby instead.

He got involved with bear hunting and noted, “I had been hunting bear since I was 14 years old. I had some of my own hounds, and I became acquainted with Roy Rogers at the various dog workouts. He asked me to set of hounds so I could go into business as a bear hunter.”
