Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Dean Butler, Actor, Producer, Director, “Almanzo Wilder” from “Little House on the Prairie”
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s guest, Dean Butler, is a beloved actor, producer and director who has been immortalized for his unforgettable portrayal of “Almanzo Wilder”, the innocent and pure-hearted young man who won “Laura’s” heart and married her, on one of the most cherished and treasured television series ever made, “Little House on the Prairie”, which is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its debut in 1974.
Our guest also appeared in the 3 “Little House” movies, “Look Back to Yesterday”, “The Last Farewell”, and “Bless All the Dear Children”. He also wrote, produced and directed the 2008 video, “Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura”. And he produced and directed the 2015 video, “Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder”.
And in 2012 he co-produced the hugely popular PBS Music Special, “Pa’s Fiddle: The Music of America”. And yes, he and his co-star Melissa Gilbert have the singular distinction of having won the 2006 TV Land Award for the Most Memorable Onscreen Kiss, which warmed everyone’s hearts, and still resonates in all of our memories. But our guest has had a highly successful career that has gone well beyond his work on “Little House”.
He co-starred in the TV movie “Forever”, and the ground-breaking 1985 LGBTQ feature film, “Desert Hearts”. And he’s also remembered for his portrayal of “Moondoggie”, Gidget’s husband, in the TV movie “Gidget’s Summer Reunion”, which generated the TV series “The New Gidget”. And he had a recurring role as Buffy’s father “Hank Summers” in the hit TV show, “Buffy the Vampire Slayer”.
Our guest has also had a distinguished stage career, having appeared on Broadway in “Into the Woods”, which ran for 11 months, and he starred in “West Side Story” in a highly acclaimed tour of Japan.
And if all of that weren’t enough, he’s had a highly successful career as the producer of the immensely popular interview program, “FAIR-ER-TY”, which ran for 10 seasons on the NBC Golf Channel.
And now our guest is releasing his brand new memoir entitled “Prairie Man: My Little House Life and Beyond”. This is an illuminating, intimate and poignant book in which our guest shares his personal journey of family, relationships, a diverse career, and the remarkable experience of being part of a legendary show which is so deeply entrenched in American pop culture.
