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.
Sure Burns was funny, but he was a lousy doctor and arrogant and childish.
Winchester was arrogant,but it was because he was a great doctor, and he knew it.
He could be pompous, but he could also show real heart.
Like the episode where go goes to the front lines and talks with a dying soldier.
"I have to know what you are feeling"
Soldier: "I smell bread", then he dies.
That scene always stayed with me.
A very good actor. His roles in Better Off Dead and Doc Hollywood are fantastic. RIP.
