RIP Major Charles Emerson Winchester the Third, M.D.

[StrandedonEarth]

David Ogden Stiers, nominated for two Emmys for his role as Dr. Winchester on the hit sitcom MASH, died today of bladder cancer. He was 75.

I doubt any of the younger folks here have any idea who that was.

Poor quality video clip, but what can you expect from a show from the 70s/80s?

Such a great actor. I'm old enough to have seen him in a lot of roles. He had an extraordinary talent for playing "bad guys" you could empathize with.

If you ever get the chance to watch Creator, he's hilarious.

I haven't seen him in much else, and "Half A Life" is probably all I'd recognize him in.  I've seen a good number of M*A*S*H episodes in passing, I'm sure I've seen him in it at some point.

But still.

Sorry to see him go.  I was surprised to find out he was only 75, though.
