2. Michael Landon is shorter than you think
Despite the name, Michael Landon disliked that his character, Little Joe, was significantly shorter than the other Cartwrights. In real life, Landon was several inches shorter than the other actors, who all stood around six feet tall. To make up for the height difference, he wore four-inch lifts or platform shoes to bring him up to 6’1”.
He kept using this trick even when he moved on from Bonanza and joined other projects.
