  • An iconic and heartwarming television show, Little House on the Prairie-and its cast-remains beloved by millions. Dean Butler considers the role Almanzo to be one of the greatest gifts of his life, and now, he’s ready to tell the story of his Prairie and on this episode of The Jim Masters Show Live! host Jim Masters welcomes Dean to the show as special guest as Dean shares amazing behind the scenes stories for the 50th Anniversary of Little House on the Prairie. Dean Butler played Almanzo Wilder, the husband of Laura Ingalls Wilder, on the original NBC series, which ran from 1974 to 1982 and was based upon Ingalls Wilder’s beloved books for young readers. In Prairie Man, which features forewords from his former Little House costars Melissa Gilbert and Alison Arngrim, Butler goes deeper into his experiences on the show and his larger career, including some of its rough patches.
    Dean Butler invites readers on a heartwarming journey of entertainment, love, and life. Told with the characteristic candor and wholesome charm that reflects the beloved characters he’s played, PRAIRIE MAN is sure to delight fans of Little House on the Prairie as the 50th anniversary approaches later this year.
    Prairie Man: My Little House Life & Beyond: An illuminating, insider’s journey through the world of Little House on the Prairie from Dean Butler, who starred as Almanzo Wilder, the man Laura “Half Pint” Ingalls married-on the iconic show still beloved by millions of fans as it reaches its 50th anniversary.
    Cast just before his twenty-third birthday, Dean Butler joined Little House on the Prairie halfway through its run, gaining instant celebrity and fans’ enduring affection. Ironically, when the late, great Michael Landon remarked that Little House would outlive everyone involved in making it, Butler deemed it unlikely. Yet for four decades and counting, Butler has been defined in the public eye as Almanzo Wilder-a role he views as the great gift of his life.
    Butler had been cast as a romantic lead before, notably in the made-for-TV movie of Judy Blume’s Forever, opposite Stephanie Zimbalist. But Little House was, and remains, one of the most treasured shows in television history. As the eventual husband of Laura “Half-pint” Ingalls-and the man who would share actress Melissa Gilbert’s first real-life romantic kiss-Butler landed as a central figure for the show’s passionately devoted fans.
    Now, with wit and candor, Butler recounts his passage through the Prairie, sharing stories and anecdotes of the remarkable cast who were his on-screen family. But that was merely the beginning of a diverse career that includes Broadway runs and roles on two other classic shows-Moondoggie in The New Gidget and Buffy’s ne’er-do-well father, Hank, in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Coming of age during a golden era of entertainment, Butler has evolved along with it, and today enjoys success and fulfillment as a director and producer-notably of NBC Golf’s Feherty-while remaining deeply loyal to Little House.
    The warmth, heart, and decency that fans of Laura and Almanzo fell in love with on Little House echo through this uplifting memoir, a story, in Butler’s words, about “good luck, good television, and the very good-if gloriously imperfect-people who made it so.”
