Well, you tell little Radar that that's too !@#$ing bad. He should be happy I remember him.

I might travel there just to call him Radar and watch him go ballistic.

I demand the thread title be changed.

 

FISD might visit the home of Radar O'Reilly.

Radar O'Reilly is from Ottumwa, Iowa. Gary Burghoff is from Bristol, CT. He should be flattered people remember him for a role he played over 30 years ago.

One of my favorite M*A*S*H scenes. They're all in Potter's office and calling Radar who has left to help his mother with the farm. They all decide to call him.

I have seen him flip out on someone for calling him radar- and I have heard numerous stories

"Loved Radar, hated Burghoff". I remember reading that from one of the writers of the show after Gary Burghoff left MASH.

That's one of the things about actors that I find fascinating - the ability to change your personality so much that it masks the fact you're truly a giant douche.

 

Burghoff should be thrilled that people still recognize and love that character after all these years.

A great example of that would be Henry Fonda. Who I think was one of the best actors ever. The man was talented. I did hear many stories about him in his personal life where he came off as a real jerk.

I had the "honor" of cooking at some of the biggest Hollywood hangouts and from what I've seen being a jerk seems to be a requirement.
