Gary Burghoff, known for his iconic role as Radar in “MASH,” brought depth to the character with his talents.
However, behind the scenes, Burghoff faced challenges, including hiding his left hand due to Poland syndrome. Despite rumors of tension with co-star Alan Alda, their relationship seems more positive in retrospect.
Burghoff’s departure from “MASH” in 1979 due to burnout saddened fans but allowed him to focus on family and personal interests.
His post-“MASH” life includes pursuing his passion for wildlife art and conservation.
While he made significant earnings from “MASH,” Burghoff prioritized family over a lucrative contract extension. Today, he enjoys retirement, leaving behind a memorable legacy as Radar.
