Butch Patrick, the iconic 60s actor known for his role as Edward ‘Eddie’ Wolfgang Munster on the 60’s hit sitcom, “The Munsters”, will be the special guest on this week’s Chuck Jones Creative-side Chat, hosted by Craig Kausen. Scheduled for 4 PM PDT on Thursday, April 30, via Zoom the Creative-side Chat explores the different ways individuals explore and utilize their creativity.
Patrick also starred as Milo in the 1970 feature film directed by Chuck Jones, “The Phantom Tollbooth.” Based on the popular book by Norton Juster, Milo is a young boy who is bored with his life until he finds a magic tollbooth in his room. Once through the tollbooth, Milo discovers a fascinating world of words, numbers, rhyme and reason and all sorts of fantastical characters.
Mentored by many of the 20th century great actors, most importantly, the stage and screen star, Yvonne DeCarlo, who played his mother, Lily, on “The Munsters”, Patrick was a popular child actor appearing in hundreds of commercials and many of the most popular televisions shows of the 60s and 70s.
“We’re excited to speak with Butch,” said Craig Kausen, grandson of Chuck Jones and chairman of the non-profit Chuck Jones Center for Creativity. “He’s an accomplished actor with a treasure trove of stories that we’re sure our guests will appreciate.”
