RIP Corporal Radar

Post by Oldbrass » Thu Apr 07, 2022 11:56 am

Donald Shaffer who played our beloved Corporal Radar O'Reilly from the TV show MASH passed away Tuesday at age 92 in his home town in Iowa..Feels like yesterday I watched the pilot episode.. he was perfect for the role.

Think I toss back a Grape Nehi today in honor of the original person who the character was based on. One of the best shows ever.

Not a regular but G. Wood played General Hammond in the the movie and on 3 TV episodes.

Corey Fischer played Capt. Bandini in the film version and played the dentist “Cardozo” in the TV episode “5 O’Clock Charlie.

Timothy Brown played Cpl. Judson in the movie and Capt. Oliver Harmon 'Spearchucker' Jones in 6 TV episodes

That's all I found doing a quick search.
