I am curious about what happened to Dean Butler, who played Almanzo Wilder on TV’s Little House on the Prairie.

Butler, 53, operates Legacy Documentaries, a production company that creates content related to history, businesses, individuals and organizations for broadcast, the Internet and DVDs. “Last year, we created a DVD called Almanzo Wilder: Life Before Laura, which was based on the Laura Ingalls Wilder book Farmer Boy,” says Butler, who lives with his wife in Los Angeles. His company is completing a documentary on the life of Wilder, and he plans to play Pa Ingalls in an upcoming musical production of Little House.
