RIP Col Sherman Potter


Prolific character actor Harry Morgan, who appeared in more than 100 films but was best known for his role as Colonel Sherman Potter in the popular television series MASH, has died at his Los Angeles home aged 96.

A representative for his son, producer Christopher Morgan, confirmed the actor's death.

In 1980 Morgan won an Emmy for his work on the anti-war comedy series MASH playing the upstanding commanding officer of a US Army surgical hospital during the Korean War.

Morgan appeared in MASH from 1975 to 1983.

He also appeared as Officer Bill Gannon on television crime series Dragnet from 1967 to 1970, alongside Jack Webb.

Still, he will be missed.

When CBS started his new show Trapper John M.D., the writers of MASH toyed with the idea of receiving a message from the States that he had died. They didn't do it, though.

Rest in Peace Trapper.
He quit MASH over a morality cause. The studio wanted the right to terminate the contract if he did any thing they deemed immoral. But they would not agree to define was they considered moral or not.

I remember now that the later show was the same character, but not the same actor. Wayne Rogers had a separate doctor show that wasn't Trapper.

There was Trapper and then there was Captain BJ Hunnicutt, they devoted an entire episode to just what did the 'BJ' in BJ mean, turns out He had a 2 letter first name, go figure.
