18. Guess which future Oscar winner got his first acting gig on Little House?

Before he found fame in films like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Mystic River, I Am Sam and Milk, Sean Penn cut his acting chops as a nameless kid on the prairie. It helped that his dad, Leo Penn, directed the episode. Other Oscar winners who graced the set are Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Patricia Neal, Eileen Heckart, Burl Ives, Lou Gossett, Jr. and Ralph Bellamy.
