From TV's "Bonanza"; (1959) fame, dark, deep-voiced and durably handsome Pernell Roberts' native roots are in Georgia, born May 18, 1928 in Waycross.

 Guy Williams - Bonanza Page
Pernell Roberts saw him as the enemy, the other actors felt his presence diminished their roles, and Michael Landon - an extremely insecure heart-throb among young women, felt his popularity was threatened by the handsome, 6'3", Williams who had been wildly popular only a few years earlier as Disney's Zorro.
As an explanation for what was perceived to be the impending departure of Roberts, the writers had planned a storyline that had Adam and Laura marrying and moving away from the Ponderosa.
When Roberts decided to stay and Guy was the one opting to leave, the writers changed the storyline, creating a love triangle in which Adam and Will both fall in love with Laura.

Anyone who talks with Pernell Roberts for the first time-really talks with him is in for a shock.
Pernell talked that day about many things: his marriage, his son, his early days as a struggling actor, his future plans, his views on civil rights, and his feelings about death.
And in the second place, whatever the motive of those who did write in, Pernell assured me that the producers kept him on the show for only one reason: because his co-stars demanded that they do so, in order not to interfere with a format that suited them fine the way it was.

It is said that the Georgia-born Roberts had creative differences with Bonanza's producers for several years, felt that the show should deal with more serious issues, and that the show was both racist and sexist.

Pernell Roberts never should have left this show; he ended up doing a lot of demeaning roles before "Trapper John, M.D." came on, and when that went off, now he's doing those stupid, depressing ads with the starving children.
Pernell Roberts' leaving of Bonanza was HIS choice and the show was better for it.
The main reason for that was that, during the early, formative years of the show, there was an effort by the writers to show that there was GENUINE companionship, trust and love between the brothers, the father and his sons.
