David Ogden Stiers

[goodnight]

My brother said he had read online that David Ogden Stiers (Major Winchester from M*A*S*H) had passed away.

Oh, yeah -- I heard that, too... always loved him in M*A*S*H ....

"Charles" was so much better than the "Frank" role, I thought -- I remember so many more of his classic lines !!

I also loved him on M*A*S*H. In addition, he was a talented musician and conductor in real life.

Yes. I was very saddened to hear this. Not only because he was a fine actor but also because I had met him a few times while he was living in Newport after he retired. A very nice unassuming man. He was not born in Oregon but he did grow up in Oregon. Oregonians were quite proud of him and considered him one of our own.

I enjoyed many of his roles over the years. Very fine actor. RIP David

Half A Life an episode in Star Trek:The Next Generation. 

Counselor Troi's mother Lawaxana Troi  visits the Enterprise and becomes infatuated with Dr. Timicin (Stiers) whose culture forces him into a suicidal ritual called "The Resolution." This episode was likely inspired by the novel "Pebble in the Sky" by Isaac Asimov, which depicts a future Earth in which the inhabitants were also required to end their lives at the age of 60 as depicted in the alien world in this episode.

The number 4077 appears on an LCARS computer display, in honor of David Ogden Stiers who appeared in M*A*S*H (1972) as a surgeon at the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital.
