Carl's portrayor, Brian Part, was gracious enough to submit to an interview for Prairie Memories.
How did you get started in acting? Were you inspired by anyone in particular?
I wanted to be an actor since I was five, but wasn’t able to do it until I was twelve and my sister in law played a big part in my entering the entertainment business because it was something my mother and father decided I could do before he passed away in 1974.
Do you have a favorite episode(s) of Little House?
I loved all the episodes. My two favorite were Runaway Caboose and Fred.
What is your most memorable Little House experience?
Michael taking us trick or treating when we were shooting in Sonora, California and when Melissa Gilbert and I snuck off on the horses between shots and got in a little bit of trouble.
Why do you think the show still has such a following to this day? Are you surprised by this?
Because of the moralistic standards it stands for.
Tell me some about your music... Have you been a musician all your life? Any particular inspirations?
I have been a musician since 1983 and my wife and I have been working together on writing music that can touch your soul and Little House has. Thank you for your interest in my career. I hope you will enjoy the my new career to come.
All My Blessings,
Brian Part
