Actor

The Resume

    (November 14, 1929-February 15, 1996)
    Wrote for 'The Smother Brothers' and 'M*A*S*H'
    Appearances include 'Doris Day Show (1969),' 'Tim Conway Variety Hour (1970),' 'M*A*S*H (1972-75),' 'McLean Stevenson Show (1976),' 'Hello Larry (1979)' and 'Dirty Dancing (1988)'

Why he might be annoying:

    He let success get to his head and left M*A*S*H (never to see success again).
    Because he left M*A*S*H, his amiable Henry Blake character was killed off and replaced by the grouchy Sherman Potter
    With out his Blake character M*A*S*H became less funny and more pretentious.
    His cousin Adlai Stevenson lost two presidential elections to Dwight Eisenhower.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He wrote some funny M*A*S*H scripts
    His co-workers said he had 'a heart of gold'
    His grandfather was Vice-President
    He helped save a life using medical knowledge he learned by preparing for his role as Henry Blake
    He is the role model for every actor who is thinking of leaving a cushy ensemble job because they think they are being held back or could do better (a lesson not learned by many including Jackie Martling, Suzanne Somers, David Caruso, Larry Linville, David Duchovny, Andy Richter, etc.)
