Thanks to a great teacher in Micheal Landon. The king of the trembling chin. I thought Melissa Sue Anderson evolved well as an actor also. All characters were plucked for their perfectly fitting characters by experienced eyes
That's a good way to word it. I was in love with Albert when I was a little girl, and now as an adult I'd love to have a son just like him. Matthew was a truly gifted child, and he seems like a lovely man.
The Sylvia episode stayed with me my whole life. I was too young to really understand what happened, but I knew it was terrible. Little House didn’t shy away from tough subjects.
Matthew was one of the most outstanding actors on the LHOTP series. Some of his scenes use to tear my heart out. He also was so adorable back then and has become a handsome man.
I grew up in a small town, loved it! My parents were loving but tired of raising kids. My twin brother and I were the oops after a ten year gap…the Ingall’s family and Little House raised me!! Truly has made my compass moral my whole life 💗 I’m a spiritual person, believe in my angels and a higher force. This show was about Love, it’s the best thing ever! ELE
Wow, I'm 67 too in July. Even makes Marines cry, like now. Those were the days! Just a little better than now. Fond memories, watching every episode, w/ our 4 kiiddos
What a great character Albert was. Matthew you are still teaching boys that it's okay to have deep emotions and yes even to cry and I thank you for that. I've got 2 little guys, 7 and 8 and we watch Little House beautiful lesson in kindness and compassion.
I noticed that the emotions Matthew expressed when he played the part of Albert Ingalls were like a chain reaction. Everyone felt touched by him because of the fact that he was just so young and innocent.
I think the secret ingredient to our love affair with these characters is that we grew up with them during a gentler time when perhaps we as a pop culture were more innocent. Remember, there was no Internet, nonsocial media no global village to contend with...just who we knew in our families and in our neighborhoods.
Grew up watching" little house"I still watch it . even though I've seen every episode many times over.loved the show,a good family show not like the garbage on today.
I agree. Little House on the Prairie had such great morals. Michael Landon's great touches just like he did on Highway to Heaven. So sad that we lost Michael at such a young age. He left us great shows that I never get tired of watching.
Really well done interview! Matthew is so well spoken and interesting. And you can tell he is a very nice man. I just wish the interview was longer! Thanks for doing this and sharing it!
I truly admire both Matthew Labyorteaux and Dean Bulter for their marvelous performances. It was and is a privilege to watch them. I wish them both well.
He hit the nail on the head with his summary of the show’s impact and legacy with the fans. Those of us who were about the same age and grew up with these characters truly felt a sibling bond with them and rode their ups and downs sharply. The show never talked down to its audience and trusted in their intelligence regardless of age. It’s wonderful to listen to him speak about it with fondness and appreciation.
I don’t know about anyone else, but the hardest episode, I had trouble watching was the one where Mary loses her baby in the fire. The images stay in my memory ( even all these years later ) I can still see Mary rocking back-and-forth, humming.
I'm a little house fan. I grew up watching it every night. Loved the cast; admired all the child stars. Now older, I respect the work that Michael Landon did. I used to.think he was so schmaltzy with LH...but now understand it was for a reason. A wholesome family show we will NEVER see the likes of again. He had great vision & TALENT as an artist. Bonanza thru to Highway to Heaven; he was masterful. I miss his talents and wonder what he would think now had he lived longer. Rest in Peace Mr. Landon...you did good. You left a Treasury of Work; a Legacy; and I can understand why the cast felt like they did about you. 💔💖
If I remember correctly, it was a two-parter. In Part 1, the attack occurred, Albert was asked if he and Sylvia had you-know-whatted as she was found to be preggers by Doc Baker. Part 2 was the conclusion in which we found out who the rapist was. I watched it myself the night it aired, I believe, in 1981.
It really was! Such a big issue to handle on that show as well as for those times in the 70's and 80's. Michael Landon was the best! That is why his shows "hold up" today! May he rest in peace
@@marccalizaire8848 Melissa Gilbert's brother by adoption also as she was adopted..foe some reason After he left the series and acting ..he estranged Himself from her and family. Sad
Albert is such a good actor! Playing that show was so good! I had a crush on Albert when he got older! As Well as Almanzo too! Albert brought out so much emotion to the show that's why I likes his character!
Someone commented about his heart ripping performance. He was the king of that and at such a young age. No one has ever compared. So respect and he’s just as cute today as he was as a child!
I think most young girls of the 70s-80s loved all the kids on the show but you especially. Like myself many girls wished for a Father Like Charles Ingalls that actually engaged conversation, and prayer and family problem solving together. We wish we could have come to the set to meet all of you and watch the filmmaking.
I think every kid wished for a father like Pa Charles Ingalls. I don't think any real father could measure up to those standards he made being poor look like fun.I wonder if Michael Landon's kids were jealous of the Ingalls family.
@@beckyshell4649 there is a movie that Michael Landon Jr. made about his real life, and what it was like growing -up with Michael Landon as his father..I was really shocked how open and honest he was about how his father was nothing like he was on camera..How he was always making him feel like he was not good enough to be his son..And how he walked off and left his mother for a younger woman and basically forgot about their family..He did end it in away that made things appear to have been forgiven when Michael found out that he had terminal cancer..However it just proves that people are flawed and there is no perfect person even though you might perceive them to be on camera..
I love this I always admired Matt and loved his acting being that we are the same age. He was really the turn to guy and friend I wish I knew as most boys I knew growing up were jerks even in my adult life Hugssss and love always a fan!!!!!
I loved the show in the 70’s and still love it today. I’ve watched it so many times I’ve lost count, in fact I’ve started collecting the DVD’s so my granddaughters and I watch them each time they visit.
Tracey Tillman That is still a horrible episode. I really liked the character of Alice Garvey and somehow the fire scene and her death was intense and heart wrenching.
Tracey Tillman I’m afraid to say the same for me. I’m 47 years old and I anded up having to take 1st grade over because I was afraid to leave my brother and Mom, I thought who would save them if I’m in school. My Mom told me I’d sleep with my clothes on for quite awhile after just in case of a fire. I will not watch that episode to this day. Fire was My greatest fear and one on them to this day.
Its so nice to know his favorite episode is mine as well, Sylvia. It was tragic but also so so romantic and as a child I had such a crush on Albert and his upper lip. 😍
Matthew is a wonderful actor. I watched him on Little House on the Prairie. I also remembered him in a T.V. Movie called Shattered Spirits in 1985. He played Martin Sheen's oldest son he was awesome in that movie.
Loved this💗 Albert is one of my faves on the show....just catching up now, it was b4 me....Albert got a lot of screen time and really acted the hell out of every scene. I cried thru his adoption to him helping get the orphans adopted into the family (Jason Bateman so cute!!!) I'm not up to the morphine years yet and in sure I'll cry a river then. I love how at the end of most eps everyone finds a place of peace and their community love and strength really shine.💕
Oh man, the ep with the fire. Poor Albert's character. That was deep and you felt so sorry for all the characters involved, Mary, the Garveys, and of course Albert. I always liked Albert's character. The character was an interesting addition.
Yeah seriously they always put Albert in the awful situations, but maybe because he was good at acting the part or something. Since yeah he was in that one where the girl was raped like he said, the school being burned, being addicted to morphine and getting leukemia.
Jeanne Evans That fire ep, though... the way he broke down and cried! So powerful. Also, I agree. He played those types of parts well. I also remember the ep with that girl that was assaulted vaguely. I only recall that people thought Albert was the culprit. I want to watch that episode now, but I'm not sure of the name of the ep or the season.
Actually that one is called Sylvia and is in Season 7. I only know that because I recently had Season 7 from the library. And was going to watch it, but then due to watching others ran out of time and had to take it back to the library. But I'll get it again fairly soon, because I've noticed that at this library that Season 7 isn't one of the popular ones. So it's a pretty easy one to get a hold of. Yeah I only saw Sylvia once and want to watch it again. I'm the same and mainly remember that they thought it was Albert. But I think it was a random guy in town who acted super nice. And no one had any idea it was him until somehow they caught him. I think it was a random guy in town, not a regular person you see on most of the episodes. I have Season 6 at the moment and saw the one where Albert and Laura sale Mrs. Olsen their beehive. Tricking her into thinking the bees were asleep and they weren't. That one is the 3rd Miracle, super funny. :)
Jeanne Evans My God! Looking back on it these were some VERY heavy issues for any young actor to portray. Guess he had to grow up pretty fast to deal with it all.
@@ssjup81 I know this was posted quite a while ago, but the episode where the blind school caught fire was the two-part season finale "May We Make Them Proud."
Oh God the blind school episodes. And the one where you found out Albert was dying which I never got. At the end of the episode where he was Addicted to Morphine she said he became "Dr Albert Ingalls" Aside from that huge plot hole everything about the Albert character I loved. He was probably my favorite character. Such a good little actor.
I know what you mean, how could Albert become "Doctor Albert Ingalls" if he dies of Leukemia? Anyway, I stopped watching around the second last season, even though I saw the Morphine addiction episode, I thought he was always on the show, not returning for special episodes, and I never saw the Leukemia episode at all...so I am going to pretend I still don't know about it, and Albert lives, grows up, and becomes a Doctor, as promised. I honestly don't know why shows have to do these things. It's like, what was the point of Charles finding Albert under the stairs, of the family adopting him, of him pretending to be blind so his biological father wouldn't want him (if they wanted to get rid of Albert, they could have just let him go with his "father".), of Charles helping Albert kick the Morphine, if after ALL that, they kill the character off! What is the point? To kill off any HOPE some people still have left? I always believed that among other things, "Little House" was about HOPE. No matter what awful thing happened, the Irish guy blowing himself to bits, and his widow and son getting the money the company owed them, Edwards finally kicking his alcoholism, (after almost killing Albert in a buggy crash, which led to the Morphine addiction), to Mary going blind, no matter what, at the end of the show, you felt LOVE and you felt uplifted. So let's just kill off the orphan...jeeze...I have to ask, since it was the last season, surely the Ingalls must have mentioned Albert at some time, like when they blew up the town, where was Albert's grave? And in the scene they showed, was any of the family with Albert in the Hospital? It LOOKED like they just abandoned him...again... This news sucks...thanks a LOT You Tube...SOME things are better left unknown.
Old Yeller I also agree. I could not stand to watch these episodes. This character was made up. So why not make up happy. Not sad. People in reality suffer enough sad so they want to watch happy and have hope that life is good! I cannot rewatch these episodes Albert should have lived!
I totally agree! I watched both and can remember saying, wait a minute!! He became a Doctor in the last one and now he is dead before going to med school!!??? 😕
This is probably one of the most frustrating characters on TV. Sure, with the leukemia episode you assumed Albert died young. But, at the end of the earlier morphine episode it was said that Albert became a doctor and returned to Walnut Grove.
Same here. Caught that discrepancy in watching the series during the quarantine. Still an exceptional and excellent series but the story line had a little hiccup there.
@@almagracielamorelos5378 IMO, the movies are non-canon & thus, are just glorified fanfiction with Season 9 being the true series finale. Case(s) in point: "Bless All the Dear Children" has Charles list the film as taking place in 1896 when it should technically be 1890 at best/1889 at least as Rose would only be 2-3 at the time of the film as such a date would have her being 9, not 2-3 years of age. Also, how could Albert return to Walnut Grove to become the towns physician if it was blown to smitereens in "The Last Farewell?" I guess you COULD argue it could be rebuilt but I just don't see that happening.
on german tv laura said in the end of the morphine episode that Albert came one year later back to Walnut Crove...but with another problem with no solution :-(
@@captainmarvel1204 Of course, being that the show was originally made in the US, it would make sense to do something like that when handed such a retcon.
One of the best memories of my adulthood!! Lol it made me wish I could go live in those days!! I’ve even looked for other shows like little house because I loved it so much I didn’t want it to end but I’ve yet to find one that remotely even comes close! 😢I wish little house could’ve ran forever!!!!
What a Blessing, and an incredible honor it was for you, Matthew, and.. that u will always have the Memories of truly being 'Albert' on Little House. And what a Blessing that 'we' too were given to grow up with Little House. Thank You Matthew, and thank you to Michael Landon for Choosing You~ ❤️
I will say that each time they added a new character on Little House, it worked. Albert was no different. He was so good with Laura. I remember all the great times they shared and they were in some of the funniest episodes.
Seems like a great guy. Great actor for sure. My favorite TV series ever. I feel Landon made a few mistakes though. He had Laura grow up too fast. He had Mary go blind. He had the flippin town blown up. And, HE HAD ALBERT DIE! Great to see he and most of the others that were a part of this show so well grounded and doing well.
Mathew was a great edition to Little House on the Prairie as Albert. Charles got the son he always wanted, and Albert just fit in so well as part of the Ingalls family. Albert and Melissa Gilbert who played Laura were great together. They could have been real siblings. One thing that I learned was that Mathews real brother Patrick played Andy, who was the Garvey's son on the show. There will never be another show like it. It always had such good morals that kids today need to be taught. What a great show.
Man, what a cool guy. I always thought that he was an incredible actor. I suspected that he was also a nice guy and of course he is. A thoughtful dude.
I love how alberts was in the little house! He was the best son they could ever have! I loved his witty ness when he would prank mrs Olsen he was the best son for them🥰 I just loved me some Albert
What I enjoy is every interview by Matt, Both Melissa’s, Allison or any cast member has not had one dislike on the videos I’ve been watching today. ♥️😁👍
I’ve watched with such great interest at the interviews of both Matt and Patrick L and the hilarious Mrs . Olson interview and it’s just sad that the kinds of excellent quality there was in television series in drama & comedy in the 70’s and 80’s just doesn’t exist anymore. With the new Millennium came this reality cheaply made garbage. Network television stopped making made for TV movies & miniseries which they had done for over 30+ years. Too expensive they said . I watch more Quality on RUclips than I do network Tv!! God bless you and all the quality entertainment and educational videos all RUclipsrs upload❤❤😅😊
Y'all should put Little House on Netflix so I n lots of others can view it....I watched this all the time .... fabulous actors n Michael was awesome the actors and actresses were all so awesome...
I remember the episode with him having leukemia--but I ALSO remember that there was an episode where Laura is talking at the end of the show, and she said that Albert grew up to be a doctor. SO....which was it supposed to be? Of course, now I know that there never was any such person as "Albert Ingalls"....unfortunately....
I love and seen all of them. Some were very sad. Like Silvia, the Solder, when Albert was dying, the kid with leukemia...... Michael London was very talent. So sad he died.
I always wished that Pa was my dad, Mary was my big sister, and that Albert was my boyfriend. I had such a crush on him ❤ I'm 53 years old now and watching the entire show on Freevee. It's like reliving my childhood. Thank you for uploading this interview, seeing him as an adult is heartwarming. ❤
He was such an incredible actor when he was a kid and even in his teens. Loved Whiz Kidz. Hated it when it wasn’t renewed. Because I was getting into computers and it was basically Wargames, weekly. A hacker show before people knew what a hacker was. I wish he’d be doing more stuff now. He definitely deserves it with the talent he was God-given.
Actually I've heard that he's a voice person and is the voice behind the animated characters in shows. Apparently he is the voice of one of the characters in Monsters I think it was. So that is why you don't see him on shows now, but you probably hear his voice without knowing it. :) I know what you mean though, it would be cool to see him on the current day shows.
I wanted one just like him...maybe 2. The kids were awesome on the show. I have the collection and still watch them. Who wouldnt love to have kids like these in their family !!
Nothing but respect for this guy. No one ever ripped my heart open like his performance of Albert.
Same for me.
Yes..agree..God given talent and vulnerability. Wonderful and and great contribution to to the cast..cannot be topped!!!
Same for me❤❤ I cried just now like a baby when I learnt he was going to die.😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks to a great teacher in Micheal Landon. The king of the trembling chin. I thought Melissa Sue Anderson evolved well as an actor also. All characters were plucked for their perfectly fitting characters by experienced eyes
That's a good way to word it. I was in love with Albert when I was a little girl, and now as an adult I'd love to have a son just like him. Matthew was a truly gifted child, and he seems like a lovely man.
This show was a gift from God, it touched everyone’s heart! Many times it brought me to tears ❤
The Sylvia episode stayed with me my whole life. I was too young to really understand what happened, but I knew it was terrible. Little House didn’t shy away from tough subjects.
I LOVED him on the show. Just the cutest kid with such raw talent!! Fantastic show and characters.
Loved this show and Matthew's character. We'll never have this quality of programming again...
Nope the powers are sold out to evil backwards & crazy.
Matthew was one of the most outstanding actors on the LHOTP series. Some of his scenes use to tear my heart out. He also was so adorable back then and has become a handsome man.
I grew up in a small town, loved it! My parents were loving but tired of raising kids. My twin brother and I were the oops after a ten year gap…the Ingall’s family and Little House raised me!! Truly has made my compass moral my whole life 💗
I’m a spiritual person, believe in my angels and a higher force. This show was about Love, it’s the best thing ever!

I loved Albert on the show. It's so cool to see that he's just as awesome in real life.
I'm still a fan at 67 years old
Me, too. Just turned 67 and if I could go back in time I probably would have been a stalker, LOL.. he was so gorgeous back then and still is!
Me too...and I'm 104yrs old
Wow, I'm 67 too in July. Even makes Marines cry, like now. Those were the days! Just a little better than now. Fond memories, watching every episode, w/ our 4 kiiddos

GARBAGE IS RIGHT
Really well done interview! Matthew is so well spoken and interesting. And you can tell he is a very nice man. I just wish the interview was longer! Thanks for doing this and sharing it!
Yes, I would love 💕 to chat with him. 😮
I truly admire both Matthew Labyorteaux and Dean Bulter for their marvelous performances. It was and is a privilege to watch them. I wish them both well.
Dean was ok but really?!
No comparison between, Albert and Almanzo .
Everyone on the show was so talented and brilliant for their roles, no matter how small or important the character is
Thank you for sharing this adult Matthew, I always wondered what became of him. Absolutely the best young male actor ever.
He hit the nail on the head with his summary of the show’s impact and legacy with the fans. Those of us who were about the same age and grew up with these characters truly felt a sibling bond with them and rode their ups and downs sharply. The show never talked down to its audience and trusted in their intelligence regardless of age. It’s wonderful to listen to him speak about it with fondness and appreciation.
Lake Kezia was the best "Run children Run" Mrs. Olsen what a trip !!
Yeah, she was yelling that and she looks back and the children were already gone. Then she threw the gun and ran. Hilarious.
I don’t know about anyone else, but the hardest episode, I had trouble watching was the one where Mary loses her baby in the fire. The images stay in my memory ( even all these years later ) I can still see Mary rocking back-and-forth, humming.

@@ssjup81 I know this was posted quite a while ago, but the episode where the blind school caught fire was the two-part season finale "May We Make Them Proud."
Oh God the blind school episodes. And the one where you found out Albert was dying which I never got. At the end of the episode where he was Addicted to Morphine she said he became "Dr Albert Ingalls" Aside from that huge plot hole everything about the Albert character I loved. He was probably my favorite character. Such a good little actor.
I know what you mean, how could Albert become "Doctor Albert Ingalls" if he dies of Leukemia?
Anyway, I stopped watching around the second last season, even though I saw the Morphine addiction episode,
I thought he was always on the show, not returning for special episodes, and I never saw the Leukemia episode
at all...so I am going to pretend I still don't know about it, and Albert lives, grows up, and becomes a Doctor,
as promised.
I honestly don't know why shows have to do these things.
It's like, what was the point of Charles finding Albert under the stairs, of the family adopting him,
of him pretending to be blind so his biological father wouldn't want him
(if they wanted to get rid of Albert, they could have just let him go with his "father".),
of Charles helping Albert kick the Morphine, if after ALL that, they kill the character off!
What is the point?
To kill off any HOPE some people still have left?
I always believed that among other things, "Little House" was about HOPE.
No matter what awful thing happened, the Irish guy blowing himself to bits, and his widow and son getting the money the company owed them, Edwards finally kicking his alcoholism,
(after almost killing Albert in a buggy crash, which led to the Morphine addiction),
to Mary going blind, no matter what, at the end of the show, you felt LOVE and you felt uplifted.
So let's just kill off the orphan...jeeze...I have to ask, since it was the last season,
surely the Ingalls must have mentioned Albert at some time, like when they blew up the town,
where was Albert's grave?
And in the scene they showed, was any of the family with Albert in the Hospital?
It LOOKED like they just abandoned him...again...
This news sucks...thanks a LOT You Tube...SOME things are better left unknown.
Old Yeller I totally agree with you. HE DIDNT DIE... end of discussion.
Old Yeller I also agree. I could not stand to watch these episodes. This character was made up. So why not make up happy. Not sad. People in reality suffer enough sad so they want to watch happy and have hope that life is good! I cannot rewatch these episodes Albert should have lived!
@@oldyellerschannel4676 of course he didn't die. He is giving the interview we are watching. He is alive and well. Lol
I totally agree! I watched both and can remember saying, wait a minute!! He became a Doctor in the last one and now he is dead before going to med school!!??? 😕
I really love Matthew and I ❤️ Albert. Such a cute boy
Probably the best episodes of Little House always were the ones involving Albert
Totally agree!
Very nice. Was great to watch him speak about his memories on Little House!
the morphine episode was some of matthew's best work
This is probably one of the most frustrating characters on TV. Sure, with the leukemia episode you assumed Albert died young. But, at the end of the earlier morphine episode it was said that Albert became a doctor and returned to Walnut Grove.
Same here. Caught that discrepancy in watching the series during the quarantine. Still an exceptional and excellent series but the story line had a little hiccup there.
@@almagracielamorelos5378 IMO, the movies are non-canon & thus, are just glorified fanfiction with Season 9 being the true series finale.
Case(s) in point: "Bless All the Dear Children" has Charles list the film as taking place in 1896 when it should technically be 1890 at best/1889 at least as Rose would only be 2-3 at the time of the film as such a date would have her being 9, not 2-3 years of age.
Also, how could Albert return to Walnut Grove to become the towns physician if it was blown to smitereens in "The Last Farewell?" I guess you COULD argue it could be rebuilt but I just don't see that happening.
on german tv laura said in the end of the morphine episode that Albert came one year later back to Walnut Crove...but with another problem with no solution :-(
@@captainmarvel1204 Of course, being that the show was originally made in the US, it would make sense to do something like that when handed such a retcon.
Yep- that always bugged me too when I was a kid. But back then, you couldn't really look stuff up or rewatch it.
No reason to kill the poor guy off.
love you and your acting! still watch reruns of Little House 🏠 today. Great stories!!!!!
Lori
One of the best memories of my adulthood!! Lol it made me wish I could go live in those days!! I’ve even looked for other shows like little house because I loved it so much I didn’t want it to end but I’ve yet to find one that remotely even comes close! 😢I wish little house could’ve ran forever!!!!
Thankyou for uploading.
Thoroughly enjoyed both parts.
Matthew was a good choice to play Albert.
What a Blessing, and an incredible honor it was for you, Matthew, and.. that u will always have the Memories of truly being 'Albert' on Little House. And what a Blessing that 'we' too were given to grow up with Little House. Thank You Matthew, and thank you to Michael Landon for Choosing You~ ❤️
Albert didn't die, because at the end of 'Home Again', Laura says that Albert came back years later as Dr. Albert Ingalls
Love the show just finished watching again 52 year old and will always watch it ever year I love it so
To this day,May We Make Them Proud is incredibly graphic( but brilliant!) for a Family drama.
one of the best actors I have ever seen
Matthew is so handsome!
I will say that each time they added a new character on Little House, it worked. Albert was no different. He was so good with Laura. I remember all the great times they shared and they were in some of the funniest episodes.
Bless him. I grew up watching him. 🙏
Seems like a great guy. Great actor for sure. My favorite TV series ever. I feel Landon made a few mistakes though. He had Laura grow up too fast. He had Mary go blind. He had the flippin town blown up. And, HE HAD ALBERT DIE! Great to see he and most of the others that were a part of this show so well grounded and doing well.
Precious series💝 so many important topics too.. They make me cry.. 💝 watching it everyday😊💝
Mathew was a great edition to Little House on the Prairie as Albert. Charles got the son he always wanted, and Albert just fit in so well as part of the Ingalls family. Albert and Melissa Gilbert who played Laura were great together. They could have been real siblings. One thing that I learned was that Mathews real brother Patrick played Andy, who was the Garvey's son on the show. There will never be another show like it. It always had such good morals that kids today need to be taught. What a great show.
Man, what a cool guy. I always thought that he was an incredible actor. I suspected that he was also a nice guy and of course he is. A thoughtful dude.
Just saw the Sylvia episode! what a great actor this show brings me right back to my childhood in the 70’s ❤️
I LOVE THIS SHOW!! Grew up watching. Miss those innocent days. Had I only knew WTH I would end up doing to myself. Damnnn
Still watching little house on the prairie love it.
Dam did I just shed a tear when that theme music came on .. yes has a crush on Mathew lol...
I love how alberts was in the little house! He was the best son they could ever have! I loved his witty ness when he would prank mrs Olsen he was the best son for them🥰 I just loved me some Albert
I loved Albert. He was the little boy I wanted to be or at least be his friend. He was in a family I wanted but never quite had.
Loved this actor and his role
He was such a gifted actor from a very young age. ♥
What I enjoy is every interview by Matt, Both Melissa’s, Allison or any cast member has not had one dislike on the videos I’ve been watching today. ♥️😁👍
Yah, I always wished I could've lived in those times with people like that
Omg, I love him so much :)
I’ve watched with such great interest at the interviews of both Matt and Patrick L and the hilarious Mrs . Olson interview and it’s just sad that the kinds of excellent quality there was in television series in drama & comedy in the 70’s and 80’s just doesn’t exist anymore. With the new Millennium came this reality cheaply made garbage. Network television stopped making made for TV movies & miniseries which they had done for over 30+ years. Too expensive they said . I watch more Quality on RUclips than I do network Tv!! God bless you and all the quality entertainment and educational videos all RUclipsrs upload❤❤😅😊
I miss this show 😭 good ole days
Thank you for telling a bit more about him at the end. I enjoyed the interview
Y'all should put Little House on Netflix so I n lots of others can view it....I watched this all the time .... fabulous actors n Michael was awesome the actors and actresses were all so awesome...
Little House is on Amazon prime.
I'm watching Little House right now on Peacock.
I still watch it and I cry with the actors on the show.
Albert was great I miss this show very much I still watch it all the time
I remember the episode with him having leukemia--but I ALSO remember that there was an episode where Laura is talking at the end of the show, and she said that Albert grew up to be a doctor. SO....which was it supposed to be? Of course, now I know that there never was any such person as "Albert Ingalls"....unfortunately....
I just bought the little house on the prairie whole series set from iTunes and it’s all in HD it’s sooo good
I still love this show. I have seen each episode probably 100 times. 🤗❤
I just started watching LHOTP. I really love it. Albert is definitely one of my favorites. I want to get the series on DVD.
Favorite episode with “Albert” was the scene where he pretends to be blind so his dad will leave him with the Ingells family
An amazing entertainer & agree with you he is super cute
oh Matthew je t'adore tu raconte tellement bien bisous mon Matthew
I love and seen all of them. Some were very sad. Like Silvia, the Solder, when Albert was dying, the kid with leukemia......
Michael London was very talent. So sad he died.
I always wished that Pa was my dad, Mary was my big sister, and that Albert was my boyfriend. I had such a crush on him ❤
I'm 53 years old now and watching the entire show on Freevee. It's like reliving my childhood.
Thank you for uploading this interview, seeing him as an adult is heartwarming. ❤
He was such an incredible actor when he was a kid and even in his teens. Loved Whiz Kidz. Hated it when it wasn’t renewed. Because I was getting into computers and it was basically Wargames, weekly. A hacker show before people knew what a hacker was. I wish he’d be doing more stuff now. He definitely deserves it with the talent he was God-given.
I want to see this actor in a movie. ¡NOW!
Actually I've heard that he's a voice person and is the voice behind the animated characters in shows. Apparently he is the voice of one of the characters in Monsters I think it was. So that is why you don't see him on shows now, but you probably hear his voice without knowing it. :) I know what you mean though, it would be cool to see him on the current day shows.
Paul Mikenas he voiced Jaden in Yugioh GX. Although not admitting it, and being credited as "Matt Charles", it's him
Paul Mikenas me too
Jeanne Evans I would be able to tell his voice from anywhere.
Little House on the Prairie should be the blueprint for every television show
Such an awesome show and has the most amazing actors in it!!! Such an awesome job well done:)
I wanted one just like him...maybe 2. The kids were awesome on the show. I have the collection and still watch them. Who wouldnt love to have kids like these in their family !!
Always an LHOTP fan my favorite character is Albert Ingalls.
