INTERVIEW with BUTCH PATRICK (Eddie Munster) / Rob Zombie / The Munsters Movie / The Monkees / All Things Munsters

Today we talk to Butch about the new Rob Zombie Munsters Movie, Butch's favorite munsters episodes, his appearance on a MONKEES episode, The Munsters Album, The Koach and more!  

Mike and I grew up watching the Munsters on TV (like alot of people our age) so this was such a great thing for us to be able to talk to Butch Patrick for the podcast and a great way to kick off the new Munsters Movie coming out September 27th on Netflix.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BUTCH PATRICK:

Butch Patrick (born Patrick Alan Lilley; August 2, 1953) is an American former child actor. Beginning his professional acting career at the age of seven, Patrick is perhaps best known for his role as child werewolf Eddie Munster on the CBS comedy television series The Munsters from 1964 to 1966 and in the 1966 feature film Munster, Go Home!, and as Mark on the ABC Saturday morning series Lidsville from 1971 to 1973.

After The Munsters ended, Patrick continued to appear in guest-starring roles on various popular television series of the 1960s, including I Dream of Jeannie, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Daniel Boone, and Adam-12, as well as a recurring role as Gordon Dearing on the CBS family comedy series My Three Sons. During this time, Patrick also appeared in several Walt Disney films, including Way Down Cellar, The Young Loner and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, as well as portraying the role of Milo in the 1970 MGM live-action/animated film The Phantom Tollbooth.

In 1971, Patrick landed the starring role on Sid and Marty Krofft’s Saturday morning children’s program Lidsville, broadcast on ABC. In the psychedelic fantasy series, Patrick portrayed Mark, a boy lost in a strange land of walking, talking, singing hats, opposite veteran character actors Charles Nelson Reilly and Billie Hayes. The show was in production from 1971 to 1973.  Butch can be heard in the new Rob Zombie Munsters movie as "the tin can man".
