“We lost Lucy.” 
Mozart’s Clarinet Quintet in A.
I wonder how much Stiers brought his love of music into the character of Winchester. Do you know if the role was tweaked to include that?
I would imagine so. I think that happened pretty often on MASH***. Members of the cast made all kinds of contributions to the show.
He had my favorite voice ever, one that you could truly enjoy even if he were just reading the phone book (back when we had phone books).
I loved to listen to the various PBS documentaries that he narrated. I remember spending an hour listening to him talk about the Chicago sewer system, and thinking that only David Ogden Stiers could make it sound so interesting.
I loved him on MASH, and The Dead Zone, and in Beauty and the Beast, and in his wonderful Star Trek episode, and on Frasier.
RIP. 
I came into this thread to say, “Son of a bitch!” That movie apparently had some disproportionate effect on my young psyche. I just found the whole thing on YouTube, apparently licitly.
One of my favorite lines of his from MAS*H… I forget the exact context but they are up to something possibly illegal, and Winchester mentions how they could all wind up in Leavenworth. Pause for a beat… “Oh God, that’s in Kansas!”
According to his unofficial website:
IIRC, Col. Tucker had come to inspect the 4077th, and criticized everyone harshly, saying he was going to have them arrested. That’s when Winchester made the Leavenworth remark. Then he, BJ, Hawkeye, and Margaret dumped beer on his head. He has a heart attack and while they’re trying to save him, he says, “April fools.” (He’d set it up with Potter.)
Another great Winchester episode was when he defeated Col. Flagg.
Yes, he was one of my favorite guest stars of that show.
R.I.P.
That’s terrible. RIP, Chuck Winchester. Sorry, Chah-les.
My very favorite moment in the whole show is his, from the end of the episode which introduced him. I won’t go through the whole thing, anyone who’s seen it will remember it in its entirety, when I just say the punchline: “Please…Mozart!”
He also played District Attorney Michael Reston in five of the Perry Mason tv movies in the late 1980s. William Talman as Hamilton Burger is always the gold standard for courtroom opponents of Mason but Reston was pretty good. His arguments impressed Mason when he was a judge (before quitting to return to lawyer) and he came iff as classy in congratulating Mason for proving his clients innocence.
