Dean Butler as Almanzo in "the little house" series is one of the great actors.

10

By maanbloem, Feb 22, 2012

Dean Butler is acting the way of Almanzo\'s life perfectly. A handsome, calm, loving and tender man. Sometimes a bit shy and clumsy, but allso a hardworking, proud man who is standing for his opinion. His love and care for Laura and Rose is so true and deeply. It looks like Dean Butler is Almanzo himself in \"the little house serie\" he is for real. When he play\'s Almanzo it hits me deeply. I find him a great actor in these series of \"the little house\". Most woman surch for such a man like Almanzo(Dean), but they are hardly to find today. Daphne/Hollandmoreless
