My Take
Matthew Labyorteaux is one of those actors who burned himself into a generation of TV viewers without most people ever learning his actual last name. As Albert Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie — that perpetually troubled adopted son of Pa and Ma — he brought a raw, genuine vulnerability to some genuinely heavy storylines for a family drama of that era, drug addiction included. He was a kid holding his own against Michael Landon, which is no small feat. What's quietly impressive is that he then reinvented himself entirely as a voice actor, landing the lead role of Jaden Yuki in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, which means he's a childhood icon for two completely separate generations. The guy studied at Tulane, kept working steadily, and never really chased tabloid notoriety. Solid craftsman, underrated career.
