I was watching "Werewolf of Walnut Grove" on Hallmark yesterday and I was curious about the actor who played Bartholomew. I looked the name up on IMBD and it had his birthdate as 1971. This episode was aired in 1980. There is no way this guy could have been nine years old. Are there two actors with this same name? (Tod Thompson). How old is the guy who played him? And who is the one born in 1971?

Good point, Buster. I am stumped! Tod (or Todd) Thompson is listed as being born in 1971 on several websites. I know that they often get their info from each other.

His photos match what he would probably look like now, and he is a TV/movie director.

That birthdate must be a misprint. Melissa Gilbert was born in 1964 and Melissa Sue Anderson was born in 1962. It would be a safe guess to say that Todd was born in 1961, not 1971. That would have made him about 18 or 19 in the episode. Melissa G. was 16 and Melissa A. was 18.

What do you think?

Yeah, that may be what it is. I didn't know what year the girl's were born so he may have been born in 1961.
