i believe his last name is pronounced, "Sty-ers". I could be wrong though. Thank you for posting this about Mr. Stiers. Very Impressive resume!!
You’re correct on the pronunciation, and the resume.
Our pleasure! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, who is your favorite MASH cast member?
@@FactsVerse Frank Burns
Wow...Yes MASH what a great Series..David you played such a great Doctor...and wonderful voices...now the Angel's have your voice loved your character in Beauty and the Beast...Many Prayes and much love..🙏❤
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
I had great admiration for David's general persona and his portrayal of Charles Emerson Winchester III - a man of equal measures of integrity and kindness. My favorite MASH episodes are ones that showed his inner character - the one when he befriended and defended the "stuttering soldier", and the one where he anonymously gifted to the orphans on Christmas. He was a really good person on and off screen
Frank Burns was my favorite character on MASH and after he left, Charles Emerson Winchester became my favorite character on MASH :)
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
He was a truly fine actor as I saw him in other productions besides MASH. Always gave a good accounting of himself and was certainly a great addition to the MASH Show when he came onboard. Hawkeye and BJ may not have liked Charles Emerson Winchester at the beginning personally but they respected him right away for his surgeon skills and that separated him from Frank Burns. This added a new dynamic to the show.
Thank you so much for your beautiful message for David. Which episode of MASH appealed to you the most?
I remember Mr. Ogden Stiers. He was an incredible actor that definitely had a wide capability to play a variety characters.
I didn't know that he had such a passion for music and that he also worked as a voice actor for many cartoon companies. I know he did a lot work in different genres, but besides M.A.S.H. my favorite character that he played was in Doc Hollywood as the mayor.
RIP: David Allen Ogden Stiers, October 31, 1942 - March 3, 2018, age 75. ✝️
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for David. He is missed. Be safe and have a great day ❣❣
@@FactsVerse Thank you so much, the same to you and thank you for the wonderful work that you do. With so much violence and negativity on television and in the movies these days, this is about the only nice entertainment there is. Thank you and keep up the good work.✝️❤️🙏
Stiers portrayal of Winchester made MASH "Work". None of us of a certain age who had children of military age wanted to think our child might be treated by a Frank Burns. If we couldn't get Hawkeye, we wanted Winchester.
We absolutely agree! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Which episode is the most memorable for you?
Forget the episode, but (sorta) remember the line: 'I had a father, but you had a dad.'
So basically you borrowed other clips rehashed his career and still don't know how to pronounce his name find a day job
David Ogden stiers was absolutely brilliant as Winchester,a fantastic character which was the equal of Hawkeye...
When he guided a young man to Ravel's Left Hand Concerto as rehabilitation, that was satisfying.
I loved him on mash. Especially the one when he tells his parents about life there and at the end tells them to “ Get me the hell out of here!!!!” Also love the one when a guy who stutters and gets made fun of, he reprimands the guys who made fun of him and gives him one of his books to help him read to talk better. That changed the character of major Winchester for me entirely. Rip mr stiers
Us too! Which episode of MASH appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse there’s way too many. 5 O’clock Charlie has always been one of my favorites. Or der tag
@@FactsVerse"Where I had a father, you had a dad." One of my favorite episodes along with the man who was a pianist and lost use of his one hand. RIP Mr. Stiers. You are greatly missed along with those that we have lost.
In the serious episode with no Laugh Track when in the end he mentions how a part of him is in the soldier too.Yes The soldier of whom survived after a long venture in surgery.
He's a Legend-Thank you for everything Sir!
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse more like this one,we need to see the great work people have done and remember them!
I had the distinct honor of meeting DOS in 1987 when he was the guest conductor at the symphony orchestra in Michigan my mother was a second violinist for. When I saw his name listed I knew that I wouldn’t miss that concert even if I had to be wheeled in on a gurney.
Being the child of an orchestra member i had the ability to go backstage. Standing back figuring Orchestra members should have first dibs, I realized everyone had already had time with him. I walked up and, chucking, mentioned that I almost called him Charles. He said that happened a lot.
He created such a remarkable, complex, and very human character on MASH. His portrayal developed and evolved wonderfully over his time on the show.
So true! Thanks for the beautiful message. What is your most memorable episode of the show?
@@FactsVerse Off the top of my head, for Mr. Stiers, I would mention three: his encounter with the soldier who stuttered, with the wounded concert pianist (I think played by James Stephens), and his anonymous chocolate donation to the orphanage - then sold for medicine, with the initial misunderstanding cleared up in such a touching way. But his performances, and the show overall, maintained high quality and artistry throughout. He, and it, are rightly considered national treasures.
I heard he was very kind and humble.
Charles Emerson Winchester III was my favorite MASH character.
I recall he was in an episode of ALF where he played a homeless man. It was the first time I personally saw him in any role outside Mash, and i was expecting to hear his Winchester voice but his voice was totally different (i was a kid at the time) and i can see why he was such a successful VA
The Christmas episode where Charles is outraged to find his gift to the orphanage sold on the black market, but humbled when he learns the money would feed the children for a month. Plus, he has some good scenes with Max Klinger.
one of my all- time favorite movies is oh, God! and stiers played a bossy produce manager. i remember seeing that in a theater at 14, then a couple of months later he pops up as winchester on mash and it was like, hey, wait a minute! then years later he played the minister on the dead zone. seriously talented actor. rip.
One of our favorites too, you've got taste! We miss David.
He was like the Frasier Crane of the late 70s TV! I love the description of him Hawkeye once made about Major Winchester being like "a cat that ate a sour mouse! Haha! There's something to be said about a certain style of actor or singer that can reach multiple audiences! Eartha Kitt once said on a radio interview that she was the "most grateful " for playing Catwoman on Batman and when asked why she explained that if it wasn't for playing that, younger people would (otherwise) not know who she was!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?
I iked Mr. Steirs role on Star Trek the Next Generation. It was a welcome surprize to see him on that show.

I really loved Charles Emerson Winchester which he played in mash, but I also love the character he played when he starred in the star track series of shows
I love mash still holds up in my opinion from the stories to the humor so good
We're happy to know that you love the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
@@FactsVerse well I got a couple, the one with the guy impersonates a doctor and Hawkeye figured it out,the CIA guys episodes are hilarious breaks his own arm, the other is when they drop the tent and take Henry's desk lol and the last one the cowboy helicopter pilot
I saw David Ogden Stiers many, many years ago on Broadway. He was in a musical called "The Magic Show".
Stiers portrayal of Winchester was incredible. While Burns was inept and predictable, Winchester could surpass Hawkeye in skill and wit. My favorite moment was the simple line said to Hawkeye: “Where I had a father, you had a dad.” So amazingly vulnerable at that moment that it moves me every time I think of the episode. 😢
Best character in M*A*S*H in my humble opinion.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse too hard to say. Not many bad ones to speak of and many great ones. That show was often on weekly with current/new shows and simultaneously on via syndication.
He was beautiful!
I would say my favorites of his roles were Charles & Cogsworth. He was a really talented actor & I share his love of classical music. TY for sharing this. God Bless You & stay safe.
You're very much welcome! We're glad to know that you love our video. If we may ask, what other types of video would you like to see on Facts Verse?

David Ogden Stiers as 'Timicin' - on "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
RIP David
His appearances in Stargate and Murder, She Wrote and a few times, and voiced on the Simpsons before his untimely death. I remember someone mentioning he was a writer too. Didn't he appear in Cheers as a friend of Fraserr or phoned Fraser on the series? And voiced on an animated series of the Batman series may have been Mr Frezes. And was Star Trek NG and wrote a short story about Charles Winchester 3rd telling what happened after MASH I think?
Rip major Winchester we will miss you
May Major Windchester find peace. Which episode of MASH appealed to you the most?
My fav role of his other than mash was the one in the episode Half a life of Star Trek TNG as the scientist Timicin
Us too! Thank you so much for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see?
I can't help but wonder if his role in M*A*S*H was inspired by "Lost in Space"'s Dr. Smith character. Jonathan Harris ALSO injected a lot of his own lines into the scripts!
Frank Burns was hilarious, but David Ogden Stiers is one of the few replacements who surpassed the original. As opposed to FB, Major Winchester fought back with a sharp whit. In doing so, he established his character as likable in the end. That gave the writers more to work with.
R.I.P. David Ogden Stiers and Tony Jay The Archdeacon and Judge Frollo are now in Heaven 😭😭😢😭😢😭
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for David. May he find peace 🙏
@FactsVerse Yeah The Archdeacon Now In Heaven With Judge Frollo
@FactsVerse I usually Watched Disney's The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 1 and 2 in 🇺🇲English and Spanish 🇲🇽
I'm pretty sure his last name was pronounced "Sty-ers", not "Steers".
It's a shame he never played east german conductor Kurt Masur in a biopic. I think he would have been amazing at it :)
David Soul Don't Give Up On Us Baby We're Still Worth One More Try
He acts tuff guy who
But he's A " softy in heart❤
We're Family is concerned
🐻 a great, CARCTOR

Mike Ferrall? I think you mean Mike Farrell.
Hogan's Heroes is the Best show but Major Winchester was my favorite character. Least favorite was Hawkeye

It’s S
Second
Almost there! We would love to see you be first on our next video 💕💕

First for what??? For sitting ALL DAY on your phone hoping to be the first person to say your 1st ??? 😅😅
Stiers rhymes with aspires.
Congratulations, we would love also see you be first on our next video! Are you up to our challenge?
Not steers styers stiers
If you’re going to tell stories about people kindly learn how to pronounce their name properly!?! Phhtt
Definitely Winchester could pitch and receive.
Hawkeye makes witty thinly veiled insult.
Winchester ahh ha yes sarcasm truly the lowest form of wit.
I should hardly expect better from someone of YOUR particular breeding. Smug pompous.
Somehow oh yeah says you doesn't quite cut it as a repartir.
Well said, we strongly concur! Thank you for watching our content and for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
His 'Winchester' character easily brought into 'M*A*S*H*': dignity, higher IQ and truly mature... maturity. ...I was born the same year his most known role on the show ended with MASH wrapping by '83. When he was on 'Frasier'... That's what resonates with me, still. I love either show. Stiers... I HOPE I get to be in line to shake your soul's hand when I too 'move to the clouds' hopefully around getting up to age 82, myself. 🥲🤌
