MANILA — Patrick Adiarte, a Filipino-born American theater, film, and television actor and dancer, has died, his family told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 82.

Adiarte, who appeared in Broadway's "Flower Drum Song" and on the television series M*A*S*H, died in a hospital in Los Angeles, his niece, Stephanie Hogan, told the American magazine site.

According to his IMDb site, Adiarte began his career playing Prince Chulalongkorn in the iconic "The King and I". He was among a cast that included Yul Brynner, Deborah Kerr, and Rita Moreno, it said. 

He was also a regular dancer on Hullabaloo, an American musical variety series that ran on NBC from January 1965 through April 1966.

Adiarte even made an "electrifying" appearance on the TV show "Omnibus" in a sequence titled "Dancing, a Man's Game" alongside director Gene Kelly, according to IMDb.

"The two then danced together, demonstrating how tap moves had originated vs. how they had progressed and modernized, with Kelly representing the old and Adiarte the new," his IMDb site said.

In 2018, Adiarte was among Filipino and Filipino-American talents who were featured in a book on Filipino-American theater history by Walter Ang.

"Fun fact: Fil-Ams have been performing on Broadway since the late 1940s, Barbara Luna was in 'South Pacific,' Neile Adams was in 'Kismet' and Patrick Adiarte was in 'The King and I,'" noted Ang.
