The Fans Ask Kyle Chavarria
1.
Alfred asks: I was just wondering if any producers, directors,
actors or any other personnel will be associated with the new
series, that also helped with the old Little House series?
Dear Alfred,
Yes, Mr. Ed Friendly was the Executive Producer on our production of
Little House and he was the original producer on Little House. Mr.
Friendly owns the rights to all the Little House Books. I had the
privilege of having dinner with Mr. Friendly while we were in
Calgary and he is just like a sweet grandfather with beautiful white
hair. Mr. Hans Proppe was the awesome Producer who kept his cool the
entire time and Mr. David Cunningham was the very laid back Director
(He lives in Hawaii!). I couldn't have asked for better people to
work with, they certainly made my job a lot easier!
2. Ginger asks: Have you ever been to any of the LIW home sites?
Hi Ginger!
Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to visit any of the
actual Little house home sites yet but I know that we will be in my
near future. I was born in the Prairie State though...Illinois!
3. Sarah asks: Have you read any of the Little House books? If
so, Which book is your favorite?
Dear Sarah,
I've read all the Little House books over and over and my Mom still
loves to read them to me before bed. My two favorites are Little
House in the Big Woods and Little House on the Prairie. What's
Yours?
4. Nikki asks: Will the new series be more accurate to the Laura
Ingalls Wilder books than the last series?
Hey Nikki!
I'm glad that you asked about the accuracy of the books to the last
series! That was what was so wonderful about making this series!
This was so true to the books that you felt like you were right
there and living the prairie life and experiencing how hard it
really was. The Ingalls' were one tough family. Laura had a great
sense of humor and a loving family that kept her strong through all
her adventures, she certainly was one tough girl and I really
admired her!
5. Shawn asks: What was filming the new Little House pilot like?
Dear Shawn,
I think if I were to be true to your question I'd need a whole page!
Filming Little House was an experience I will never forget. I thank
God all the time for giving me the opportunity to play such a well
loved character. I really felt like Laura Ingalls and knowing what
she went
through as she crossed all those states during the coldest months in
a wagon! I loved being in another country with new and friendly
people who made my job so much fun. I really miss everything about
the making of Little House on the Prairie. I'm so excited for it to
air and for all the fans to see and and fall in love all over again
with such a wonderful story.
6. Tammy asks: I have not heard much about baby Carrie being in
the new series. Is Carrie going to be in the pilot? Who is going to
be playing her?
Dear Tammy,
Well actually, baby Carrie is not going to be in the new Little
House on the Prairie, but if we make a series then she will be in it
and all the other great characters.
7. Jane asks: Since filming the pilot, have you kept in touch
with any of the cast?
Dear Jane,
Yes I have. The little girl who played Mary, was in town and so I
asked her to a Dodger game. That was her first time to a Dodger game
and we ate Dodger dogs, cotton candy, peanuts and saw the Dodgers
beat the Braves 7-4! Great day!
8. Beverly asks: I can't wait for the new show! Do you know when
it might air on ABC?
Dear Beverly,
The show was supposed to air this October but will now air in March,
we'll keep you posted! All I know is that I wish it was airing
tomorrow!
9. Jamie asks: Kyle, what do you like to watch on TV? Any
favorite foods?
Hi Jamie!
I love to watch "I love Lucy", I can watch her all day! I have most
of her DVD's. As far as current TV shows, I have little time since I
take cello lessons, acting class and am starting soccer season this
week! My Mom is pretty strict as far as the TV being on during the
week. I do have a television in my room but I watch mostly DVD's
when there's some down time. I do love to watch Little House on DVD
too! As far as my favorite food, that's easy, hotdogs! I like
mustard, ketchup and relish on them! I also love, sushi, snow-cones
and pepperoni pizza, oh yeah, cheerios and watermelon!
10. Missy asks: Who was your favorite person to work with while
filming the new Little House on the Prairie?
Dear Missy,
Wow, that's a hard one since everyone was so nice and treated me
like family but I really liked working with Sandy and Bridgette,
they were the script supervisor and slate operator. They always made
me laugh and I hope to see them again real soon.
