Pernell Roberts Quote
-
I had six seasons of playing the eldest son on that show. Six seasons of feeling like a damned idiot, going around -- me, like a middle-aged teenager, saying, `Yes, Pa,` `No, Pa` on cue. It was downright disgusting -- such dialogue for a grown man. I felt I wasn`t being taken seriously as an actor, and that`s like death to one`s talent...Stuck as Adam Cartwright, I was only able to use about one-tenth of my ability. -- PR on why he left "Bonanza" (1959)
