In other news, Justin Timberlake is ...
Major Winchester comes out | AccessAtlanta
M*A*S*H star and Disney voice David Ogden Stiers recently confirmed what many probably already knew: he’s gay. In a March interview with the blog Gossip-Boy.com, the 66-year-old actor known for his turn as Major Winchester explains he’s never fully opened up about his sexual orientation because of professional reasons. “One is that I enjoy working, and even though many have this idealistic belief that the entertainment industry and studios like Walt Disney are gay friendly; for the most part they are, but that doesn’t mean for them that business does not come first. … From the late 1980s until about seven or eight years ago, you would find certain individuals coming up to you, me, and advocating the position that since we were doing family fare that it would be best were the actors to maintain a certain palatability to parents.” I thought the comment was interesting largely because I don't really think most parents know who the heck does the voices in cartoons unless they happen to recognize them. Sure, there are voice geeks like me who will hit imdb to look up something that sounds familiar that I can't place but I never really thought it was all that common to notice. I mean, can you name what Disney work Stiers has done (without looking it up)?

I don't even know who he is, let alone what he sounds like or what voices he's done.

Okay, how in the hell are there two people posting in close proximity that don't know what Major Charles Emerson Winchester looks like?
edit to add: Some of our too cool for school posters might be able to place him better if I mentioned him playing Rev. Purdy on Dead Zone or maybe Oberoth on Stargate: Atlantis

I probably would have gotten that clue if it hadn't been 15+ years since I've seen that movie. Probably gonna make JIMGA pop a vessel if I tell him I've never heard of Dead Zone (movie or TV show...?) or Stargate: Atlantis.

Considering that somewhere in the world there has been a rerun of MASH airing at any given moment continuously for the past 15 years or so, I'm hard pressed to believe that there are many humans left on the planet that haven't seen every episode at least twice. Coma and alien abduction are pretty much the only exceptions.

Ok. Now I have placed him. I was never a big fan of M*A*S*H, so while I now can place him in the show, but I never knew what his character was called. The only names from MASH I remember are Hawkeye, Radar and Hot Lips. And I am not even sure about that last one.

If I see it on, I turn the channel. Based on my childhood experiences, I associate MASH being on TV with no cartoons, super hero shows or sitcoms that I enjoyed at that age being on. I remember always being a little despressed when I heard that opening music and saw the footage of that helicopter.

I can honestly say I've never watched a full episode even once. All I can recall of the show generally is Alan Alda's smart ass one-liners and that one dude dressed as a woman. That's about it.

We were asked if we could place his voice work without looking it up - an assumption that everyone would know who he is - so I deemed it appropriate to point out that for some people, his initial assumption was faulty. Or, I can just simply answer the original quesiton: No, I cannot.

When did the damned show run? I was born in 1971. I don't even remember it being on when I was "TV aware." I definitely remember it in reruns, but WTF did I care about that type of show as a kid? I don't know, I just never watched it and it never interested me.
Now, Sanford and Son, I watched that shit all day and night.

I was going to point that out - at least about something called Stargate Atlantis - but Dead Zone sounds like some early 90s slasher flick, so I wasn't so sure.

Nah, it was a nice little sci-fi show (based on a movie, based on a Stephen King book so maybe you're not that far off) that was on USA and ended a couple of years ago. It starred Anthony Michael Hall and he still barely looked 30 when it ended despite him being closer to 50. SI

First, this was a very on-topic comment. Second, if you actually look at my posts in a draft I would say that I praise picks more than I am negative about them -- you just notice the negative ones more. I am also negative about my own picks. So, perhaps don't be so sensitive and just take my discussion of draft picks for what they are worth -- a discussion.

That show aired until 1983? I definitely don't remember it at all, at least not as anything other than an old show in reruns. But I don't specifically recall watching anything on network TV before the mid-80s other than Three's Company. Maybe That's Incredible.
I think my kids watch too much TV compared to me growing up...
