Subject: Michael Landon and David Canary

Watching the Season 14 episodes reminds me that, even during a difficult last season, Mike and David had great chemistry together on screen. I always felt the characters of Joe and Candy played very well together in the late 60's episodes, and that the chemistry started there. Different that the Landon, Dan Blocker chemistry, but great chemistry none the less.

I was curious, did Michael Landon and David Canary ever work together again professionally after Bonanza? I know Mitch Vogel was on a couple of LHOTP episodes, along with many of the Bonanza secondary players. Was curious about David Canary, and if they ever worked together again, or for that matter if they were friends and saw each other afterwards. Don't think this topic has ever come up here, so I thought maybe Rick or someone in the know might know!

My father was to have the role David Canary was cast in. Unfortunately, Dad was severly injured just prior to beginning filming.
Dad worked on several seasons of Bonanza on and off as a stuntman, double and actor.
As it happens, I visited the set and went on location many, many times, eventually becomming very close friends with Dan Blocker, who was a truly great guy.

Very interesting Susan, I had never heard that. I've heard David Canary speak very fondly of Dan Blocker, and Lorne Greene for that matter. Seemed like more of a business relationship with Mike, despite the great chemistry. The stories you could probably tell from being "on set"!
