Princess 'M', Ben (Loren Green)was the father and head of the Cartwright clan. Oldest son was Adam (Parnell Roberts) whose mother was American(I think) Erik (aka. Hoss)(Dan Blocker) was son #2. His mother was Swedish. Joseph the youngest( Little Joe), (Michael Landon) His mother was French. The mothers had all passed away before the serries started.

It was never a good idea to fall in love with a Cartwright. A death sentence for sure!

Victor Sen Yung had been around 30 years before "Bonanza", but at least he found lasting fame in one role, Hop Sing. He started out as Jimmy Chan #2 son to Sidney Toler's Charlie Chan. He is among a handful of reliable character actors of the 40's who specialized in ethnic roles. Notably, Philip Ahn, Benson Fong, Richard Loo, Keye Luke.

Greeny Froggy, Good way for the writers to explain why none of the boys looked anything alike.

Queenofnacht, Great show. The Cartwright sons were all SO different in disposition. And looks. Did they have different mothers?

delrio, If memory serves me correctly, when any son was in mortal danger, literally on their death bed, Ben would reminisce about how he courted the sons' mother. However loving a Cartwright did put any femme Fatale near death.

Haven't seen a whole episode of Bonanza in at least 30 years, but Hop Sing popped up in my mind before I even looked at the choices. OK, sorry to brag, but that wasn't the point so much as the durability of certain memories.
