They could have never found a better more genuine authentic gracious and humble man to play the part of Almonzo…. He is truly a gem and it shows all the more in this interview! What a gentlemen he was and is!! 💙

Dean Butler is a very handsome man. I watched Little House just to look at him!

I just loved Dean Butler as Almanzo - he was just the perfect choice, because he was and is so cute. In this interview he comes across as being absolutely charming.

What a charming man! He has a lovely smile.

The greatest family show ever made that gave me values and life lessons cherished for life. I began to watch at age seven. I had huge crush on Almanzo and his good looks melted young girls hearts. The match between Laura and Almanzo seemed so authentic & real and can still get emotional /cry watching scenes. The legacy left behind by little house will remain forever on film for future generations to inspire and educate. My daughter now watching little house and the values she learns are timeles

Dean Butler is Handsome❤️

Laura and Almanzo's love story reminds me of mine and my husband's love story. I met my husband when I was 16 and he was 7 years older than me. He thought I was a sweet kid until I got to be 18 then things changed. He started seeing me as a woman and not a girl. We got married in 1977 when I was 19 and we are still together after 43 years.

I love this! Dean Butler is so cute and he and Melissa Gilbert as Almanzo and Laura were wonderful. Thank you for sharing these interviews!

Manley was/ is so handsome and perfectly cast by Michael Landon.

What's really cool about Dean Butler is that he has done so much work for the real Almanzo Wilder's childhood home to keep it going as a historical site. He's a very cool person and so charming! Also, the show pronounced the name wrong. It should have been AlMANzo instead of AlMONzo.

Hi absolutely loved Little House on the Prairie from the minute it came out. I’m now in my mid 50s and I’ve been binge watching it on FreeVee. It brings back so many good memories and it was such a high-quality show.

He's still every bit as charming as he was during the series.

Yes, the real Almanzo was 10 years her senior. Again once more Dean Butler portrayed the role of Almanzo so touch ful. Made my favorite actor.

He looks more attractive in the interview than in his youth.

I remember going to bed dreaming about Almanzo when I was a little girl..

Superb casting. He did such a great job with the character and what a class act. That really added to their good fortune.

I think Dean was very sensible to be wary of portraying a romantic/sexual relationship with Melissa's character, Laura. Although a 14 year old and 22 year old would have been allowed to start pairing up in the 1870s (girls were often married off around their 16th birthdays, especially in rural communities) this was filmed in the late 1970s so was dealing with a late 20th century audience in a society(America) which would regard a man having a relationship with any girl before her 18th birthday as highly dubious to say the least! I think they pitched the tone about right, especially as Melissa/Laura looked very young for her actual age anyway so the age gap appeared far more than 8 years.

I like Dean Butler, he’s a very good actor! Thanks for this interview!
