Comedian Henry Cho. Starts at about the :50 mark.
Off-the-wall interesting tidbit:
This might be purely coincidental, but I couldn’t help noticing that, on the wall at the Sanders Memorial Theater at Harvard, there’s a plaque honoring a doctor named Benjamin Franklin Peirce, who died March 9, 1864
(see here, plaque 25 Memorial Hall )
There’s no obvious connection between H. Richard Hornberger (Richard Hooker) or his MAS&H co-author, W.C. Heinz – neither attended Harvard or lived in the area.
You can’t miss the plaque. If you attend a concert or a show at the SAnders, you;ll probably spend time waiting in the Memorial Hall.
And Trapper John went to Dartmouth.
Along with many other pen names. He’s 86 now and it appears that his son William E. Butterworth IV is doing most of the writing now with his father’s name in big letters above the title.
I can’t believe it’s not (the older) Butter(worth).
Hornberger’s inspiration for Trapper was Dr. John Lyday. I remember hearing his name in one of the extras of the MASH movie DVD. A few years later, I heard his death reported on NPR, which was only notable due to the MASH connection. Here’s his obituary, which also highlights his being the inspiration for Trapper John.
The third swampmate in the novel and movie, Duke Forrest, was based on the awesomely named Agrippa Kellum.
