The very next year he reached the pinnacle of his film career with The Reivers. He played the role of Lucius in the film adaptation of the William Faulkner coming-of-age novel. The film won both Vogel and star Steve McQueen Golden Globe nominations.

   With established success, Vogel became a popular guesting on TV and in 1970 joined the already classic western series Bonanza. Vogel completed a two-year stint on the show playing the character of Jamie Hunter, an orphan taken in and adopted by the Cartwrights. His casting brought a new dimension of youth to the cast, as Michael Landon, at age 34, was a bit too old to be receiving fatherly guidance by patriarch Ben.

 When the series ended in 1972, Vogel had developed a friendship with Landon and went on to appear in Landons Little House on the Prairie series years later.

Mitch Vogel returned to Bonanzas locations for the Travel Channels  TV Road Trip in 2002, in which he narrated a look at the Ponderosa Ranch in Incline Village, near Lake Tahoe, Nevada. More recently in 2004, Vogel was featured in an interview in Bonanza Gold magazine, and participated in the 2005 and 2009 Bonanza Convention.
