Dean Butler
Dean Butler played Laura’s eventual husband, Almanzo Wilder, who came onto the show in the sixth season.
He also appeared on shows like "CHiPs," "Fantasy Island," "Who’s the Boss?" "The Love Boat," "Hotel," and had a recurring role on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
From 1986 until 1988, he starred on "The New Gidget" as Jeff "Moondoggie" Griffin.
His last acting role was in 2008, and since then he has mainly worked behind the camera as a sports, entertainment and documentary producer, including a docuseries he narrated called "The Little House Phenomenon: A Place in Television History."
Butler, like Gilbert, commended the reboot, writing on Instagram earlier this month: "Something that I love about the program that I think would have been really fun in the original — which we did not do... is the family singing. Writers have rolled in songs that Pa played on his fiddle, and the family is singing along, and they’re doing it beautifully, and this really is the spirit of Laura’s books."
He added that the show is beautifully produced, saying "there is a lot of good stuff going on here."
