played both the 4077th's second beloved C.O. (Col. Sherman T. Potter) and the mentally unstable Major Gen. Bartford Hamilton Steele in the show's third season, in the episode "The General Flipped at Dawn". This latter character was a reprise of his role as Major Pott in the 1966 Movie, "What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?"; December 8, 2011 at 9:14 PM
Rita said...: I remember him in that first episode where he was off his rocker. Much better as Col Potter.; December 8, 2011 at 9:17 PM
