I’ll pass
I wonder if the comedian, Robert Klein, is kicking himself for shooting down a chance to star in M*A*S*H. When offered the part of Trapper John, Robert actually turned the role down because he wanted to focus solely on his stand-up routine. Hey, fair plan to him to sticking to his guns.
Crazy Klinger
Crazy to think that Jamie Farr, the man portraying “Corporal Klinger” was actually hired for just one day’s work on the episode “Chief Surgeon Who?” However because he gave such a great performance, he was asked back dozens of times before eventually becoming a series regular. I guess Farr was able to really tap into his portrayal of a man who crossed dressed just to get out of the Korean War and go home.
