40 deceased M*A*S*H actors

[@Meriale46]

I've been binge watching MASH for the past week and had forgotten how funny and serious it was at the same time. it was a amazing sitcom... my husband never missed it. The Character Harry Morgan played (Col. Potter) reminds me of my father so much. He even looks like my father God rest their souls. If you've never seen this show you should make it part of your (things to do) list. You won't regret it. The jokes, the characters, the drama all stand the test of time. This is one of the best TV shows of all time.

[@Eds7570]

It definitely was. Liked the early episodes with Trapper John. I never thought his replacement ever lived up to Wayne Rogers. Klinger was one of my favorite characters.

[@kathrynjordan8782]

Such an amazing show with so many quality actors/actresses. I am so glad for the reruns as I have watched them many times over. So many faces from my childhood gone now, yet live on in those reruns. I enjoy the series on DVD.

[@paulwojnar2291]

Aside for getting some of the ages wrong. That was a touching memorial to those who brought us a great show for more than a decade. May they all RIP.

[@stevesaltered]

This made me smile, and sad at the same time. I hope they're all back together up there.

[@davidkwas392]

Yeah...Good memories watching with friends and family...Who says time travel isn't possible!

Larry Linville was 60 not 80 when he died. Edward Winter was 63 not 73 when he died.Marcia Strassman was 66 not 91.

[@listoholic4507]

Thank you. I knew about the Larry Linville and Marcia Strassman errors (because I forgot to calculate their ages), but the one about Winter is new to me. Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. And I'll correct all the mistakes in a future video update.

[@andrewsmith2326]

Mindboggleing how many great actors were on that show.

[@christopherkent2359]

Such as the one who turned out to be the traitor in the first Matrix film...the one who sold them out to Agent Smith. His name eludes me at this moment...case of "short timers" at the moment. Anyhow he portrayed an soldier who was masquerading as an Jewish friend of his who had papers to go home who had recently been killed in action, but Father Mulcahey persuaded him to do the right thing. As you said it is truly quite an number.

I was young 50 years ago. I will newer forget M.A.S.H GOD bless them all who pased away.

[@CelaWhitney]

this was such a great show. I met Mike Henry once in San Francisco when he was filming SKY JACKED. I got a street car and saw him sitting with a lady. I asked him if he was Mike Henry and he said yes and gave me his seat. I had seen him in a TARZAN movie after his football career was over. his girlfriend thought it was hilarious that I remembered that far back.

[@BrianWMay]

Thanks for all the fun. I started watching it in 1973 during my aircrew training when it was de rigeuer. Fantastic series, watched most recently, last night (Dec 24) no less. Timeless.

[@jaigurudavid]

What a nice tribute to these fine actors. They kept us laughing!

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

Growing up as a kid in the 70's/80's, this was my Saturday afternoon lineup into Saturday night. Started off with Bah Bah Blacksheep, then Rat Patrol, then Star Trek, then Victory At Sea, then MASH, then Wild, Wild West, then Dukes Of Hazzard, then Sha Na Na, Lawrence Welk, Hee Haw and then into the featured movie of the week. 3 channels which were 6 (NBC) 8 (CBS) and 13 (ABC) and if the weather was right we could get channel 4 (PBS) out of Ft. Wayne. Sitting in the living room with my mom and dad, brother and sister eating on folding trays. Us kids were the remote control. Anyone else feel me?

[@jehobden]

Stafford Repp, who played an MP in "White Gold", died 4 months before his episode was aired in March 1975. He's probably best known for playing Chief O'Hara in the tv series BATMAN.

[@Zdenek-ps7pm]

Páni, tohle je jeden z mých nejoblíbenějších seriálů. a je neuvěřitelné, kolik skvělých herců v tom seriálu bylo. Pořád se dívám na reprízy, a to mnohokrát. Děkuji za vzpomínky.

[@Telephonebill51]

I'm always amazed that so many of these "regular" actors aren't so famous, never had star billing, NEVER made big money, and probably lived like ordinary people, worrying about making ends meet and whatnot like we all do. They just had this one, overwhelming, driving force to tread the boards...

[@brendajeanproffitt6919]

Such amazing tribute they are the greatest actors and actresses ever thank you so much still ❤❤❤ this program

[@frankdaleo4078]

The GREATEST television series ever to be on TV. Watched and taped every episode including the last one. I also have the TV Guide it was published in. These actors will never be forgotten, they were ALL in a class of their own. You will greatly be missed by me.

[@greggseager4632]

Frankly, this was brutal. I forced myself to watch. I remembered them all!!! And I saw their ages at death....and remembered my age. Ya, Brutal. Life is a gift not to be taken for granted.

[@LaughingLion4Ever]

If you do another one of these please add Pat Hingle. He played Col. Daniel Webster Tucker in the episode April Fools. Great character actor. 1924-2009.

[@gumwrapper7042]

A few of these actors I didn't know had passed away. My favorite episode of M*A*S*H is the one where Edward Winter (Col Flagg) comes to the compound as Hotlips disappears to help deliver a baby. I'm on the floor laughing every time.

[@dennisschafer4883]

Sehe diese Serie heute noch gern. Danke und RIP an die Verstorbenen :(

[@goodchessactor]

I remember the episode when the MASH unit was going to play football against another unit so they enlisted a neurosurgeon, Timothy Brown, who also happened to be a star college football player. There was one scene where Brown was operating and the other doctors kept talking to him until he said something like, "Can't you wait until I get out of this man's brain?" I can never forget that scene.

[@maxwedge5683]

That was in the movie, not the TV show.

[@lichang-l3m]

RIP I love M*A*S*H so much not only because it is such a good series, but also, as a foreign student in the early 80's, I could learn so much English from it.

[@dbdb703]

Thank you for such a wonderful video to remember these fine actors.

[@davidmcpa]

The acting was spectacular. The writing same. The emotions went to both extremes. The common denominator of the comedy and drama was the horrors of war. My dad was a naval pharmacist mate in World War II. He saw a lot of what MASH units saw in Korea.

[@larryjanson4011]

I didn't know some had died, brought back great memories, and sadness at the same.

[@mfc1212us]

How can you forget Jack Soo- who played a black market guy pretending to be a Colonel to get Henry's authentic American Oak desk? (He was Nick Yamahna on Barney Miller). and Bruno Kirby (Godfather II, City Slickers) was on the very first episode - Alex Karras (former NFL star, Webster, Blazing Saddles) played a Marine , Lyle, who became Hawkeye's bodyguard. - Mesach Taylor (Mannequin, and Designing Women) - Pat Hingle (Batman movies as Commish Gordon, and Clint Eastwood movies) - Edward Hermman (Lost Boys, Overboard)

[@robwallace1140]

Sad to see so many actors that entertained us for so long be taken from us. The saddest episode for me was when McLean Stevenson’s character, Henry Blake was killed on his way home and Radar comes into the operating room and announces the tragedy, it was devastating!

[@TomBell-zi4es]

Recently, Teri Garr ( Lt. Suzanne Marquette) 1944-2024 (79).

[@freespirit1975]

Commentors are saying you missed a few. It's all kind of depressing. I always think of that line in a Doors song. Jim Morrison sang "no one here gets out alive." I think he was talking about one's Life. When you're young, you can't imagine it, and when you're old, you can't stop thinking about it.

[@Judge-Dredd]

I used to watch MASH with my Mum, who passed away a long time go. I later bought all the DVD's to watch again and again. Makes me very sad to see all these good people are now dead.

[@mcginnisjynx]

One of my favorite episodes is Radar mailing a " jeep" home. Its classic, Radar is in the background going by piece by piece to mail the parts.

Yup, it's called acting. FWIW I saw an interview with William Christopher where he said that in spite of his long time on MASH and After MASH he didn't consider the character to be that important in his career.

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

@@JayKarpwick I agree with him on that. He's a memorable and loveable character but the role just wasn't that big on the show (except for a couple of episodes that were nearly exclusively about him). Honestly, the character was kinda background and one-dimensional most of the time (not an insult to William, he doesn't control that).
