This powerful episode has stood the test of time, gaining even more popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic—so much so that Snoop Dogg himself posted about it! (Yes, Snoop Dogg is a Bonnethead.) Todd takes us on a deep dive into his experience filming this serious and impactful story, his audition process, his understanding of the material, and his belief that a similar episode likely wouldn’t be made for TV today.
We discuss why Little House has endured compared to modern television, and why tackling tough topics—like those explored in The Wisdom of Solomon—is crucial for sparking important conversations, understanding history, and learning how we can be better because of it.
Todd also shares insights into his unexpected breakout role on Diff’rent Strokes, what it was like to be part of the child-actor scene in the ’70s and ’80s, and his exciting upcoming projects—including a new show in development and his podcast with his wife, Dang!. The podcast explores those jaw-dropping moments in life that make you say, “DANG!”—whether good or bad.
