Actor, writer, and producer Dean Butler joins the podcast to discuss his years as Almanzo Wilder on the beloved classic TV series "Little House on the Prairie."  We discuss the phenomenal popularity of the show and how he was cast and brought onto the show in the sixth season.  Dean also discusses his relationship with star and executive producer Michael Landon and some of his memories on set.  Then we discuss his co-star Melissa Gilbert, who was 8 years younger, and some of the awkwardness that gap in age caused with their storyline, including his memories of the memorable "first kiss" between a then 15-year-old Melissa and 23-year-old Dean.  And we wrap up the discussion with a look forward to next year's 50th anniversary of the show and a sneak peek at a project Dean is working on.  Follow Dean Butler on TwitterPurchase on Amazon:Little House on the Prairie S6 Blu-rayLittle House on the Prairie S7 Blu-rayLittle House on the Prairie S8 Blu-rayLittle House on the Prairie S9 Blu-ray The Extras Facebook pageThe Extras Twitter Warner Archive & Warner Bros Catalog GroupOtaku Media produces podcasts, behind-the-scenes extras, and media that connect creatives with their fans and businesses with their consumers.
