Patrick Adiarte, the Filipino-American actor and dancer known for roles on M<\/em>AS<\/em>H* and The Brady Bunch<\/em>, died Tuesday in a Los Angeles-area hospital at age 82. His niece, Stephanie Hogan, confirmed pneumonia as the cause of death.<\/p>\n

Born in Manila on August 2, 1942, Adiarte endured early hardship: imprisoned by the Japanese during World War II, he suffered burns from a grenade while his family fled. They moved to New York in 1946, and he became a U.S. citizen in 1956 after his father, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers captain, was killed.<\/p>\n

Adiarte gained fame in the 1970s as Ho-Jon, the Korean orphan on CBS\u2019s M<\/em>AS<\/em>H*, appearing in seven episodes and helping Hawkeye (Alan Alda) and Trapper John (Wayne Rogers). He also appeared in the 1972 three-part premiere of The Brady Bunch<\/em>, playing a memorable role during the family\u2019s Hawaiian vacation.<\/p>\n

A talented dancer and singer, he starred in the Broadway and film productions of The King and I<\/em> (with Yul Brynner) and Flower Drum Song<\/em>, and briefly pursued a singing career with the pop hit \u201cFive Different Girls.\u201d His TV credits included Bonanza<\/em>, Hawaii Five-O<\/em>, and Kojak<\/em>. He also taught dance at Santa Monica College.<\/p>\n

Adiarte was married to cabaret singer Loni Ackerman from 1975 to 1992. He is survived by his niece and nephew.<\/p>\n

Remembered for his grace, talent, and resilience, Patrick Adiarte left a lasting mark on stage, screen, and the generations of dancers he inspired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
