I always assumed he was shorter in Bonanza because he was called "Little Joe", however, it could have been because his brothers were alot taller. pjama says on 13/May/08
I loved his work on Bonanza. I think 5'9 is pretty accurate.

Pernell Roberts was not and is not a nasty man. If you go to the Bonanza Web sight, you will see that he was very close to Lorne Green. Also, He met up with Landon in the 80's and they spent some time together. Scott B says on 11/Apr/08
Landon was 5'9. He wore 3 inch Lifts on Bonanza making him 6'0 in Boots. mhaft says on 5/Nov/07
I met him in Beverly Hills a year or so before he passed, and perhaps due to his declining health, he was considerably shorter than my 5'9" height. I would estimating him to have stood 5'7" max. Marcelo C. says on 5/Oct/07
I think 5´9" is correct for Mr. Landon. Though, he was always in a good shape, looking athletic, so used to have a very good presence. Brad says on 6/Aug/06
Hard to say, he always wore boots. 5' 8" is about right. That Pernell Roberts was and is a nasty man. Lmeister says on 3/Aug/06
I agree with Glenn he was 5'8'', but in his Bonanza boots looked like 5'11''. Tony G says on 3/Aug/06
The "Bonanza" website in which Rob provided the link on Lorne Greene's page has updated Michael's height.
It now is:
Height--- 5'8" (It used to be listed as 5'9")
Height in costume (1959-'61)--- 5'9.5"
Height in costume (1961-'73)--- 6'1" Sam says on 1/Aug/06
Does anyone have height guesses for the rest of the Bonanza cast? Greene, Dan Blocker (Hoss) or the guy who played "Adam" can't think of his name. Glenn says on 13/May/06
He was 5-8. frank p says on 11/May/06
Well, going by his appearance to me anyways in Bonanza, Little House, and Highway to Heaven, I would've said under 5"10 to tell you the truth. Frank2 says on 28/Feb/06
Michael was about 5'8" and wore lifts in his cowboy boots in Bonanza, but so did Lorne Green! By the time Greene was in Earthquake he appeared in person to be my height which is 5'11". I used to sit in the Universal studio restaurant and would occasionally see him at the counter reading the Wall Street Journal. We once discussed the stock market and I got the feeling he was a big investor. Nice man. CelebHeights Editor says on 12/Aug/05
I found an old quote that Michael is supposed to have said: "Back then actors were big, muscular, terrific! And I was still 125 lbs and 5ft 11 I'd always be." Mr. R says on 29/Jun/05
For years, Michael Landon was listed at 5-11. Even after he died, this was his given height. As always, I am suspect when a celeb is listed at 5-11 cause if they really were, they would go ahead and list them at 6 feet. This height seems to be a pretty good guess. |
