“He got what he wanted”: This star of the meadow little house had all the power of the kit

Meadow’s small house is one of the family series that can combine all the audience around the TV. If it is 9 seasons from 1974 to 1983, it is primarily for the family of its charming characters and the Ingals, but because the man supervises all aspects: Michael Landon.

“He was their star”

“The chain loved Michael”, Testifies to Susan Sukman’s Series Casting Director in the microphone Shiny. “He was their star and he got everything he wanted. I was very lucky because he said,” If Susan wanted them, then we would do so. “I was very lucky.

Landon played Charles Ingals, but also provided the series and actually staged 89 from the 186 episode.

“Creation”

“When I worked on other series castings, I always had a role description.”Continues McCray on the series, “Mike Landon did not write any description; I only got the script. This really gave me the opportunity to be creative, for example, when you read the book and imagine what the character is.”

With this complete freedom, McCrey went to look for little famous actors, but which matched the image created by the character: “I was able to give many players the opportunity that the channels were generally not offered.”

And perhaps because of its phenomenal success, the small house of the meadow has not become a series of “guests” in which Hollywood has absorbed some glory, but it has remained a human face thanks to Susan Sukman’s chosen and at the same time becoming a large ass.
