David Ogden Stiers has died. What an incredibly talented actor. He was a favorite, and his varied body of work will live long. Man, this stinks.

MASH remains my favorite show ever, and he was my favorite character.

Just heard, very sad, enjoyed his work on MASH

I remember seeing him in an interview, he was totally different from Major Winchester. He was very quiet and gentle, and there was no Boston accent at all. It was hard to believe it was the same person.

I remember seeing him in an interview, he was totally different from Major Winchester. He was very quiet and gentle, and there was no Boston accent at all. It was hard to believe it was the same person.

In an interview, he said he patterned that accent after William F. Buckley. R. I. P.

R.I.P. Charles!

Oh no. He was a great character in MASH. Also I remember him in The Accidental Tourist.

Looking at his IMDB profile, he seemed be a prolific voice artist.

My favorite character of his is the arrogant researcher/doctor in the movie Creator. And I loved him in MASH.

He portrayed the "new management" on the finale of the Mary Tyler Moore Show, also.
What a great actor he was!

I remember this:

"Stiers, loved classical music. It flowed through his veins. Deeply involved and well educated in the subject matter, he became a conductor of classical orchestras. "He'd bring in these manuscripts and would stand with his baton while reading music," Nakahara says. "He directed the entire cast to sing part of 'Dona Nobis Pacem' for a Christmas show. He arranged the song and gave us parts."
