Horse Hockey!
He had a tough role, replacing Maclean Stevenson, but did so admirably. However, I always thought his best role on MASH was when he played the nutjob general.

I'm old. I still think of him as Bill Gannon on Dragnet. He played a ton of supporting roles as well in movies such as "Support Your Local Sheriff".
I always enjoyed him. |

I remember him in many older westerns from the 40s. I just watched him the The Ox-Bow Incident a couple weeks ago.
I thought his Sherman Potter character was very well played. RIP Sherm

He was a great character actor. He was really good at replacing McLean Stevenson in MASH. You wouldn't have thought that possible but he pulled it off very well. I remember him first in Dragnet so that makes me old.

He was also great as the judge in Inherit the Wind.
