Captain Simmons, the hotshot who drove Charles to drink and made Col. Potter lie around in bed nursing a sore leg and feeling sorry for himself. Also, Dr. Borelli, played by Hawkeye’s real life father, Robert Alda. A visiting preacher, played by Ned Beatty. I think he was Col. Hollister. ---

Tommy Gillis, Hawkeye’s childhood friend who got killed Private Wendell Peterson (played by Ron Howard), the underage soldier Hawkeye snitched out after Tommy’s death Private George Weston, the decorated soldier Burns tries to get dishonorably discharged for being gay.
