David Ogden Steirs was best known for his roles on M*A*S*H (Major Charles Emerson Winchester III) and The Dead Zone (Rev Gene Purly). He denied being interviewed for an article in which he supposedly Came Out, but did not dispute the claim itself. He was known to have been Gay, but even his Wikipedia page does not mention a marital status or sexual orientation.

Rest In Peace...

 

He did a lot of animated stuff after MASH.

 

And for gamers from back in 2000 or so... Icewind Dale.

For us proud Trekkies, he was Dr. Timicin. The Kaelon scientist who fell for Lwaxana Troi on The Next Generation.

He first appeared in Season 6 of MASH starting in fall 1977 or more than 40 years ago.  I remember it well.  He was so stuffy and prim.

I remember him mostly as Winchester from MASH. However, I never saw a charcter he did not do exceptionally well.  R.I.P. David, you and your characters will be remembered.
