Today LIVE! Synonymous with Eddie Munster, Butch Patrick is all that and a hefty bag of Cheetos. We had a great conversation a few years ago, getting real and going deep. From his very early career beginnings, and successes to life’s challenges and his resurrection.
Butch made his film debut in The Two Little Bears, opposite Eddie Albert and Jane Wyatt. His resume is a time capsule of my youth, having guest starred on Ben Casey, Bonanza My Favorite Martian, Mister Ed Rawhide, The Real McCoys, and General Hospital.
Post the Munsters, Eddie guest starred on I Dream of Jeannie, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Adam-12, he appeared in several Disney films, and had the starring role in the children’s series, Lidsville, opposite Charles Nelson Reilly.
Butch turned to music, and the bass, recording, Whatever Happened to Eddie Munster, and It’s Only Halloween, with his band, Eddie and The Monsters.
There was an appearance on The Simpsons and in Dickie Roberts Former Child Star.
Recently Butch appeared in a Munsters reboot, starred in the thriller, River Beauty, and currently Butch has a number of ghoulish projects in the hopper. We’ll be catching up!
The Munsters played a major role in my daily joy as a kid, always grateful for a chance to say thank you and better know Eddie. Um… Butch!
