He's a great example of being an American period.
He is a little older but still the same, love his voice.
I had a pleasure of meeting Jamie in October of 2022 amazing human met him in motor city comic con a true sweet heart
I love him and all the cast I remember watching reruns in the 80s as a kid. And now I have a son... I am American of Mexican heritage and my wife moroccan arab and Berber and our kids now have a wonderful colorful heritage they can take and share with everyone..
It seems like every old movie or tv show from the early 60’s on had a walk on of Jamie Farr.
His best movie role was Who's Minding the Mint as the Italian cousin and he didn't say word throughout the movie but he played it so well and his character was memorable which is a sign of a great actor
I believe this interview was done when Jamie was doing a one man show, where he played George Burns.
A true gentleman in all respects.
On MASH, in the episode where Klinger fakes forgetting he's in the Army, he mentions that his mother's maiden name is Aboudeelee (I hope I spelled it right), I thought Jamie just made up that name. I did not believe that was for real.
He talked so much about Tony Pacos. I was in a wedding in 1992 and they had the reversal there.
Never watched MASH but my folks did. It wasn’t until I seen him on the gong show that I started watching it
Watching mash while watching this interview and i noticed alan and and jamie have identical voices
he looks like the guy from the movie "UP."
I wonder if it was more difficult for him to act Clinger , having a more strict heritage. I did not know about it. Love they way he worked this role, awesome.
toledo, oh and worcester, ma had significant lebanese communities in the 1920's and 1930's
thanks I didn't know that. cool.
So did Lawrence, Mass.
fuzzy pink slippers and a hand glider episode is very funny::)))
Until he started talking, I might've mistaken him for George Burns.
i thought that too good old Jamie
Ha - yes he probably could play his life story !!!
Looking him up, I think he was a 2nd Lieutenant US Army Air Corp.
I knew you growing up and was in love with you. I went to St George with you. I guess I was too little! Boo Hoo
Why immigration is what makes America Great! My roots go back to before the Civil War.
You look so wonderful. You know we Lebanese age slowly. God has been good to you! My maiden name was Saba, we lived near Richard Haddad. Do you remember
I don't know who that is but I think he said are you ready to stop yet
Nice guy
I wish YOU GUYS were CALLED AMERICAN ARABS . JUST LIKE I AM AN AMERICAN WHITE ANGLO-MORMON CHRISTIAN.L.. I Say THIS NONSENSE SO WE ARE NOT DIVIDED BUT Americans First and Americans always!!! May Allah and Jesus bless us ALL!
Nice .. I hope Arabs were more interconnected just like the Jews
I am sorry, but they say Arab American or Arabian television but neither 1 of them look Arabian, outside the "The Nose" that is
You must not have seen Jamie Farr when he was younger. He had thick black hair and dark skin to go along with that nose.
@@NoName-bh4pf seen him? i have every tv show and movie he was in on dvd
@Yunus Al Canaani if i was to go to the middle east i well not be going to see people but history
Videos for cats
Mr. Farr looks like a 1930s Jewish gangster
And Toledo is proud to call you its Native Son! Thank you, Mr. Farr.
He is also starting to look like George Burns as he gets older.
He looks terrific and sounds like a youngster!!
What a fine, caring human being...
great guy .
I love Lubia and Rice, and Stuffed Egg Plant
He looks like George Burns now. Hand him a cigar.
Probably the greatest measure of M*A*S*H's success and of Jamie Farr's on it is that they eventually let the character of Maxwell Klinger just be Jamie Farr, a Lebanese-American from Toledo--"Maxwell Klinger" not being a terribly Lebanese-sounding name--and nobody cared. Jamie Farr is more interesting than any fictional character a TV writer could come up with.
Thank you, Jamie (Jamil). You're one of my all-time TV favorites. ❤
Loved jamie farr!His role was slightly unbelievable, but still,...
On first glance thought this was George Burns
My Best friend whom I grew up with "Gary Salloum" was Lebanese. I wish I could find him all these years later. The Lebanese people immigrated to the United States in the 1950's . Thank You Jamie for being ARAB-Lebanese for all of the western world to enjoy and be inspired by.
lebanese people were in america long long before that!............remember the poet Khalil Gibran?......he is lebanese and he was in america in 1895
he now looks like George Burns. hehe.
I think Jamie also appeared in Sgt. Bilko. I know he's on The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Hogan's Heroes, and Gomer Pyle, USMC. He also appeared with William Christopher in the movie "With Six You Get Eggroll" (late sixties). He and the future Fr. Mulcahy play hippies in that one.
