Manage episode 424589467 series 2793436
The portrayal of Almanzo Wilder on Little House on the Prairie inspired a new memoir, Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond. Show begins with his upbringing in Northern California as a child acting as a cowboy, cherishing the simplicity of days gone by, like heating water on the stove. His journey into acting stemmed from experiences of bullying, leading to his breakthrough moment when he was first heard and seen.
Securing his first major role as Michael Wagner in Judy Blume’s Forever was preceded by a small part on The Streets of San Francisco. His agent, Ina Bernstein, played a pivotal role in opening doors for him and affirming, “You will do this show,” referring to Little House on the Prairie. He reflects on the importance of roles aligning with an actor's essence, noting how his upbringing uniquely suited him for the character of Almanzo Wilder.
Becoming a published author holds deep significance for him. He shares insights into Michael Landon's personality and his experience joining the series midway through its run. He was captivated by the show's essence after being cast. He discusses how fans embraced the love story between Laura and Almanzo, recalling a pivotal moment when he realized the show's immense popularity beyond the set. He expresses gratitude towards the many individuals who have supported him on his journey to success.
We reflect on how past television shows once brought families together, a tradition now fading into yesteryear.
