Television actor, born in New York City, New York, USA. After appearing in small roles in television Westerns and drama series including Playhouse 90, he made his film debut in I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957). He endeared himself to audiences as Little Joe in the television western series, Bonanza (1959–73), and as Charles Ingalls in the television series based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House on the Prairie (1974–83). He occasionally wrote and directed for the series he starred in, including Highway to Heaven (1984–8), and had just completed the pilot for Us before his sudden death from cancer. About Sam's Son ..... Michael Landon originally wrote the film's script in the summer of 1982 while his television series Little House on the Prairie was taking a break for the next season. He pitched the idea to NBC, who were interested to have it as a movie of the week, but Landon had wanted it to be a feature film instead. The revised draft had to be rewritten for the actual film with some minor adult language and a pretty violent bar room fight. Production began in the summer of 1983 in southern California, substituting it for New Jersey. Timothy Patrick Murphy was cast as Eugene Orowitz, because Landon thought he looked exactly like he did when he was younger and had also seen him on Dallas as Charlene Tilton's boyfriend, Mickey Trotter. Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson were immediately cast as Eugene's parents because Landon knew their real-life marriage would blend in with their characters. Hallie Todd, another newcomer in show business, was cast after she appeared in the made-for-TV film Who Will Love My Children? For the film, Landon used most of his TV crew from Little House on the Prairie.
