I loved that character! He looked like a cuddly big bloke, just like my favourite, late uncle, who himself was rumoured to have been anything from 5' 10" to 6ft - the only tall person in that generation of our family. And such was the shear bulk of big "Hoss" as well as his height, that when in one episode he told a bad guy that he'd kill his dogs if they were set on him, you really believed he could do it with his bare hands! Those poor, stupid wee alsations had no chance!

It was mainly Greene and Landon who wore lifts to match or exceed the height of guest stars on the show, not the other way around. I agree with many others here, Dan and Pernell didn't wear lifts, Dan a strong 6'3", and Pernell likely 6'0.5" when on "Bonanza", 6' on the later "Trapper John MD".

How about the many guest stars on Bonanza? Do you know if they ever wore lifts on the show?

Blocker never wore lifts nor did Roberts. Green and Landon did wear lifts on Bonanza.
