According to <em data-start=\"171\" data-end=\"195\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>, he died from <strong data-start=\"210\" data-end=\"223\">pneumonia<\/strong> on Tuesday at a hospital in the Los Angeles area, as confirmed by his niece, <strong data-start=\"301\" data-end=\"320\">Stephanie Hogan<\/strong>. His death marks the loss of a performer who helped pave the way for Asian representation in American entertainment during the mid-20th century.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"956\">Born on <strong data-start=\"477\" data-end=\"495\">August 2, 1942<\/strong>, in <strong data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"523\">Manila, Philippines<\/strong>, Adiarte\u2019s early life was marked by hardship. As a toddler during World War II, he suffered burns from a grenade explosion while his family fled Japanese forces. After the war, they moved to <strong data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"732\">New York City<\/strong> in 1946, and later became U.S. citizens in 1956 following the death of his father, who served as a captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. These early experiences shaped a life defined by perseverance and creativity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"958\" data-end=\"1618\">Adiarte began his career on Broadway, appearing in the original stage productions and film adaptations of <strong data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1082\">The King and I<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1087\" data-end=\"1107\">Flower Drum Song<\/strong>, both landmark musicals for Asian-American performers. He later gained widespread recognition on television, portraying <strong data-start=\"1228\" data-end=\"1238\">Ho-Jon<\/strong>, the kind and resourceful Korean houseboy, in the first season of <em data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1317\">M*A*S*H<\/em>. He also appeared in the 1972 Hawaiian vacation episodes of <em data-start=\"1378\" data-end=\"1395\">The Brady Bunch<\/em>, where his role became part of one of the show\u2019s most iconic storylines. His other screen credits included <em data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1512\">Bonanza<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1529\">Hawaii Five-O<\/em>, <em data-start=\"1531\" data-end=\"1538\">Kojak<\/em>, and <em data-start=\"1544\" data-end=\"1556\">Hullabaloo<\/em>, where he showcased his talent as both an actor and dancer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"2050\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Beyond his screen career, Adiarte continued to share his love for performance through teaching, notably at <strong data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1751\">Santa Monica College<\/strong>. He was married to cabaret singer <strong data-start=\"1786\" data-end=\"1803\">Loni Ackerman<\/strong> from 1975 to 1992 and is survived by his niece and nephew. Remembered for his grace, talent, and quiet trailblazing spirit, Patrick Adiarte leaves behind a legacy of artistry and representation that continues to inspire generations of performers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patrick Adiarte, the Filipino-born actor and dancer best known for his roles in M*A*S*H and The Brady Bunch, has passed away at the age of 82.
