Like 1 Reply Delete. Gary Burghoff was not a typical lead type like Alan Alda Alan you would lust with your thoughts Gary you would love with your heart. CouchPotato19 jrod 7 months ago. Never got all the sex appeal of Alan Alda. He was all over the mommy magazines back then! Great catch!! Do i think he should get paid as much as the show's Star on Mash Alan Alda No , yes he should have got paid a good amount , But to me Alan Alda , was the star of the show , and also to me , and this just how i feel about Alan Alda , he is in league , like Elvis , and a few other top acts like Elvis , there is only one , but i think Alan Alda , is a pretty humble person for a big star.

Number one is code for being difficult, and potentially expensive! People we, the viewers forget that Tinsel Town Hollywood is a business. Think about your job. How often would you expect a raise equal to the highest member of management in your organization, if you wished any future with the company? Regarding contributions in television, the way people get and got increases was to demonstrate their worth.
Not just to talk about their potential. Acting is a commodity. Now whether or not Warner Bros. Because there were just a few other actors in the MASH group who out-ranked him in billing. And once the discussion of raises would start flowing, then the bidding war and ultimatums begin.
Rather than insult GB directly, it sounds like a more mutually amiable separation was agreed upon, one that left everyone with their necessary dignity. And by the way the flat dollar figures quoted above may not have included how much financial interest any of the actors had in their shows, residuals, product endorsement opportunities, privileges and time away.
No doubt, the concept of this article made for an interesting story though! More power to the Staff Writers! Deleted 7 months ago. CraigGustafson 7 months ago. Most actors don't get in to the business to play the same character forever. I saw "The Cotton Club" in a theater, where midway through the movie, one goofball yelled out, "Hey! That's Herman Munster! No, not exactly. So the writer gets dinged for repeating a figure of speech which was aimed at illustrating another stereotype of the day.
Most actors get into the business to continue their career, period! Who statistically speaking is going to refuse a raise for continuing in a recurring role. Meaning that the money earned pays their bills and puts their kids through college.
And at a future point in time will provide the opportunity to be more choosey about the next role. Shatner and Nimoy seemed to have survived just fine. So whatever a goofball yells out in a theater has nothing to do with a fine actor Fred Gwynne ultimately choosing his career direction.
Wiseguy 7 months ago. Wayne Rogers left because he had been promised his character would be equal to Hawkeye but he felt he was becoming secondary so he left. He later admitted if he had known it would last 11 years he might have stayed; ironically, his replacement BJ was written as more of an equal to Hawkeye. Besides, there was no where his character could go, he couldn't evolve like the other characters. The only difference is they would have made more money from the series.
F5Twitster 7 months ago. Try 20th Century-Fox, which produced and owned the movie and TV series. Wiseguy F5Twitster 7 months ago. I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. Even commenters here were repeating Warner Bros.
Don't they even see the 20th logo at the end of every episode? Radar was a way "cooler"character in the beginning of the show. He broke into tears and I had to stop everything for 15 minutes and walk him around the backlot of Fox. While the interviewer noted that Gary may have been upset because he was leaving after that episode, Charles was adamant that there was more to it. I think that was a large part of it," he said.
According to Burt Metcalfe , Gary also struggled on set over the years. He had a tremendous sleeping problem and, because of this, he was often late for call times.
