M*A*S*H actor David Ogden Stiers has passed away at the age of 75 following a battle with bladder cancer.

The Emmy nominated star died peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon on Saturday, his agent Mitchell K. Stubbs announced on Twitter on Saturday.

'I am very sad to report that David died this morning March 3, 2018 peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon after a courageous battle with bladder cancer. His talent was only surpassed by his heart,' read the message.

“That’s equivalent to being the best hockey player in all of Ecuador.”

Relax.

He was GAY. That is a fact that he was comfortable with. When he came out in 2009 he did so because he didn’t want anyone he was associated with to feel as if they had to keep a secret for him.

I enjoyed MASH and still watch some reruns. His character was one of my favorites.

[Huskrrrr]

I saw him on a couple of talk shows, he seemed like a decent chap.

[tennmountainman]

A talented actor.

Have not seen MASH in ....decades!

Ultimate 80’s movie dad in Better Off Dead.

The most under appreciated teen film of the era.

One of my favorite lines of Winchester’s was when Hawkeye asked him if he was sweating during a card game.

“Sweating? A gentleman doesn’t sweat, he perspires. And a Winchester NEVER perspires!”

Delivered perfectly by Stiers.

Nothing like a thread where a mod has run amok to remind me of why there are issues with fundraising.

Once I detected the bold and frequent anti-American military theme to the TV show, I never watched it again.

Did some great bits in shows other than M*A*S*H too - maybe Frasier's daddy on that program and the wise and wily mayor in the movie "Doc Hollywood".....

[Morgana]

Have no idea what happened. I posted then came back and saw the mess. Someone not a MASH fan or something?

[Chode]

75, he got five more than allotted

I missed that announcement.

He had a great voice on audio books. RIP.

My version of hell would have been to spend time living in “The Swamp”.
B.J. Hunnicutt and Alan Alda, puzzling over which country is more moral, gulag North Korea, or The United States. All the while, Winchester trying to sneak into my bunk.
