Was Dan Blocker ever a Mormon?

Answer 1

Wikipedia shows Dan Blocker as a Free Methodist and him being LDS, "Mormon" is no where mentioned.

Answer 2

My memory says Dan Blocker the actor ways lds and so does ldsfilm.com list him as a Mormon with a regular actor role on t.v. as Hoss Cartwright on Bonanza. My memory is not always perfect and I have no personal knowledge just a statement from my friend who told me he visited a singles ward in California in the late 60s and he was surprised to see Dan Blocker as the lds bishop in a singles ward in California.

I want more facts and there appears to be some inconsistencies because one site lists him as a free methodist and yet a baptist minister spoke at his funeral and my friend told me Dan Blocker as Hoss Cartwright was his Mormon bishop in his singles ward.

Someone out there must have some specific facts to explain to us what the answers are and what Dan Blocker's role if any in the LDS or Mormon church is but ldsfilm.com is an exhaustive list of Mormons on t.v. shows and they say Dan Blocker was a Mormon.
