That’s a great story. I watched MASH growing up but I don’t know much about the man personally. I can imagine though that he would be the opposite of his character on MASH. Do you remember what he spoke about at the college?
As I recall, Mr. Linville gave a brief autobiography, then talked about his experiences on MASH, along with a brief discussion of the cast members. He told some very funny stories, but unfortunately, I can’t remember them anymore. One thing I do remember is that the producers wanted his character to be a villain, but he turned it into somewhat of a lovable loser.
