David Ogen Stiers Dies
|
Most famous perhaps for Major Winchester on M*A*S*H, but also a poignant role as a scientist on Star Trek:TNG who fell for Counselor Troi's mother Luxanna (Majel Barret)
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I'm an abnormally big fan of M*A*S*H, especially for someone born 6 years, 9 months, 15 days, 13 hours, 30 minutes after they aired the last episode, so, here's two of his best moments in the series:
And now for a role my generation is more likely to remember: Sadly, I could not find any DOS-centric clips from Better Off Dead, and the three-video limit would have made it even tougher to pick something.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.

Crap.
I've just been re-watching StarGate Atlantis where he played the leader of the replicators.

Yep. I read about this. What a good actor. His character brought a gust of fresh air into M*A*S*H's storylines. Larry Linville was excellent as Burns, but Winchester brought some much-needed depth to the "villain" role.
Damn that shown was good! I like how it evolved: the early "Trapper" seasons, then Hunnicutt brought a new dimension. Burns was out before we got tired of him. Hoolihan went from "Hot Lips" to a strong female role. And David Ogden Stiers did a wonderful job helping bring the show to its ultimate conclusion. R.I.P.  RE: David Ogen Stiers Dies

I also quite liked him as the mayor in 'Doc Hollywood'. I never knew (until he died and I read more about him) that he was also such a talented musician.

Man, I loved that show, Our family watched it religiously (ha!) when it first ran, and in syndication. It was a show that could make you laugh, cry, and think - about the absurdity of war as a backdrop for the human condition. Winchester's character breathed essential new life into the show.
I didn't know until after his death that he lived and conducted a symphony in Oregon, not far from my Dad's place. 
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

So sad to hear this. He was one of my favorite actors.
