David Ogden Stiers, born October 31, 1942, passed away yesterday from bladder cancer. We all remember him mainly as the stuffy, arrogant Major Charles Emerson Winchester on M*A*S*H. He was nominated twice for a Primetime Emmy for the role.
He went on to play Cogsworth in Disney's Beauty and The Beast in both the 1991 movie and the 1994 Broadway cast, the only actor to be in both.
Of course, for me, I enjoyed him in his role as Timicin in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Half a Life.
