GARY BURGHOFF – 76

Gary Burghoff’s fame took off when he portrayed Charlie Brown in the 1967 off-Broadway musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. His performance in the hit show M*A*S*H as Corporal Walter Eugene “Radar” O’Reilly earned him six Emmy nominations, winning one of them in 1977. Though it may be a long time, the show is still being viewed and loved by many as it managed to reach several generations, gaining appreciation across age groups.

Burghoff may have been a pro at his craft, but instead of pursuing more fame and wealth, he opted to spend his time with his family by softly retiring from Hollywood. Though he didn’t have many movies and TV credits under his name, he’s one of the most talented in the entertainment industry. Burghoff is living a quiet life, and his fans can help but wonder what he’s up to, nor what happened to him when he closed the Hollywood curtains.
