“Hoss,” played by the actor Dan Blocker, was one of the most beloved characters on Bonanza. According to reports, Blocker had the desire to branch out and desperately wanted a role in the big screen adaptation of MASH. He was even the favorite of Robert Altman, director of the film, but the producers wouldn’t sign off on it.
