Personal Quote:

[about why a M*A*S*H reunion didn't happen] I always respected [Alan Alda]. I never got in his way. But it's very selfish of him to hold out and prevent us from earning a living. We don't all have Woody Allen knocking at our door. I should stop talking before I say something I'm going to regret. Actually, forget that I said that. You just caught me on a bad day. Let's start over. See more »

Trivia:

Best remembered by the public for his role as "Corporal (later Sergeant) Max Klinger" on the television series M*A*S*H. See more »

Trademark:

His nose. (Frequently the subject of many jokes on M*A*S*H. In one episode Klinger says his nose even has its own serial number). See more »
