Captain Benjamin Franklin “Hawkeye” Pierce is Surgeon in M*A*S*H unit. Hawkeye is still
married, but with being so far from home, he convinces himself that nobody else will
ever know. As such, Hawkeye rationalizes his extramarital dalliances and gives himself
some moral leeway. Hawkeye was portrayed by Donald Sutherland.
Captain "Trapper John" McIntyre (Elliott Gould) is a character in Richard Hooker's MASH novels,
as well as in the 1970 film and two TV series. In the film he had a very dry and sardonic
sense of humor. Trapper had a reputation for being a womanizer. He lived a semi-hedonistic
lifestyle with its drinking and carousing.
Captain “Duke” Forrest was a surgeon assigned to MASH who arrived with Hawkeye Pierce in
the 1970. Duke was very funny and outgoing. After operations, he likes to have fun: drink
a martini, seduce some girl and joke with his best friends Hawkeye and Trapper John.
Duke was portrayed by Tom Skerritt.
Major Franklin Burns (Robert Duvall) was pious, claiming to be a man of God, but still blaming
others for his own mistakes. The most prominent example was taken directly from the novel
when Frank wrongly accused an orderly named Boone of killing his patient; Boone is crushed,
but Trapper John punches Frank in retribution.
Colonel Henry Braymore Blake is a character introduced in the 1970 film M*A*S*H. Henry
Blake was a senior soldier and managed the hospital. Henry treats his subordinates well;
even when they violated discipline, he rarely resorts to punishment. Henry Blake was portrayed
by Robert Duvall. He died in 1996 after heart attack.
Lieutenant John Mulcahy (René Auberjonois) known as Father Mulcahy, a US Army chaplain
assigned to the Mobile Army Surgical Hospital during the Korean War. Mulcahy was supposedly
of Italian and Irish descent, was given the nickname "Dago Red". While most of the staff
is not religious, they still treat Mulcahy with reverence.
1st Lieutenant Maria "Dish" Schneider was a nurse at the MASH during the Korean War.
Dish's role in the finished film was limited, as a large portion of her role did not make
the final cut. Dish was married, while she cheated with Hawkeye Pierce, with whom she
quickly began a love relationship. Dish was portrayed by Jo Ann Pflug.
Oliver "Spearchucker" Jones (Fred Williamson) as a particularly skilled neurosurgeon and
this, together with the experience of playing football together, helps Duke Forrest overcome
his racial prejudices. Jones helps prepare the team and eventually plays a key role in
strategizing their victory over the 72nd Evac hospital.
Corporal "Radar" O’Reilly (Gary Burghoff). Radar acquired his nickname because he was
seemingly endowed with ESP, appearing at his CO's side before being called and finishing
his sentences. O’Reilly was more of a worldly and sly individual, a clerk who carried with
him at all times a pocketful of passes for any potential scam.
'Me Lai' Marston is a soldier who flies in by helicopter when Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper
John are playing golf. He reports that the congressman's son is seriously wounded and
only Trapper John can save him. Captain McIntyre plays Marston, but eventually agrees and flies
with him. 'Me Lai' Marston was portrayed by Michael Murphy.
Corporal Judson, a Corpsman, appeared in the 1970 film version of M*A*S*H*. Former NFL
football player Timothy Brown, who appeared in the Robert Altman film as Judson, later
appeared in the CBS-TV series version of M*A*S*H as Dr. Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones.
Corporal Judson was portrayed by actor Timothy Brown.
When Trapper and Hawkeye are leaving the 4077th, it is Staff Sergeant Gorman, who shows his
disgust with Army protocol and any other thing for that matter, who has to drive them from
camp; they manage to swipe a jeep without asking Henry's permission in the process.
In the film Sgt. Gorman was played by actor Bobby Troup.
Captain Walter Koskiusko "Painless Pole" Waldowski was the camp dentist and a buddy of Hawkeye
Pierce who began having questions about his sexuality and contemplates suicide as a solution,
only to be thwarted by the antics of the surgeons with the use of placebos in a hilarious coffin
burial scene. He played by John Schuck.
Sergeant First Class Vollmer is the hapless sergeant-major who tries to keep things running
in an orderly manner while being ignored by everyone else. One of the running gags in
the show is having him always asking the C.O. Henry Blake for orders, only to be told that
Radar already knows what they are. He was played David Arkin.
Brigadier General Hammond was the head of the Army Medical Forces in the Far East, Seoul
sector. General Charlie Hammond coordinates an intermural football game between the MASH
surgeons and a team which he assembled of medics and surgeons that worked at a nearby
Evac hospital which was under his command. He was played by G. Wood.
Capt. Bandini is a minor character in the film and doesn`t appear often. Bandini was
portrayed by actor Corey Fischer. In the movie Capt. Bandini plays guitar. Corey Fischer
one of four actors to appear in both the MASH film and the TV series, together with Gary
Burghoff, G. Wood and Timothy Brown.
Major Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan is a member of the Army Nurse Corps and, as the highest
ranking female, she is the unit's chief nurse. She got her nickname of "Hot Lips" when she
and Frank have a wild tryst in her tent, unaware that the public address microphone has been
planted under her cot. She was played by Sally Kellerman.
Bud Cort made his screen debut as Private Boone who was a corpsman at MASH. Boone is
on duty in Post-Op when a patient develops complications. Major Frank Burns asks Boone
to fetch some adrenaline and a cardiac needle. Boone apologizes and offers to get a nurse,
but Burns says it`s too late and blames Boone for the patient's death.
