Remembering David Ogden Stiers
 |
He appeared on Broadway and television.
In 1977 during my Navy hitch, he was cast as Major Charles Emerson Winchester, III, M.D. on the tv show M*A*S*H.
This was both my favorite role he portrayed and I believe the one for which he is most recognized to this day.
Mr Stiers was a multi faceted talent whose performance arts set high standards and crossed boundaries of genre and style.
He also portrayed District Attorney Michael Reston in several Perry Mason television films and did a fair amount of voice acting for Disney.
He was on television on the supernatural drama series The Dead Zone as Reverend Gene Purdy who he portrayed for 5 years.
Stiers spent his later years as a conductor of the Newport Symphony Orchestra.
He passed in 2018 from the sequela of bladder cancer and with him passed an eloquent, articulate man of the world who brought his unique imprimatur to those things he embraced during his career.
And yes, he was a gd democrat. It just goes to show you that I may appreciate your talents as long as you maintain a level of good sense, tact, poise, and decorum of which most democrats are no longer capable in all their leftist libtard stupidity.
