RIP Larry Linville..You played Frank wonderfully he was one of my very favorite characters from M*A*S*H*...There is a taped interview with someone asking him why he thought Frank's character remained as it was...and he said "What, do you want to Hawkeye(s)? He was the perfect comic foil, important and necessary....oh the funny scrapes that he would unwittingly get into... Love you <3 Larry Linville / Frank!
Larry Linville's real personality was the total opposite of Frank Burns'. instead of being self centered and narrow minded,he was a very kind man. Kind of like Jack Benny's character's greedy personality,he was actually one of the most generous persons.
Lt. Col Farnk Burns (he was promoted). Our Flag is lowered for you. God Speed, and Thank you for your service in the motion picture arts. BTW....Pioneer Aviation, forever.
@robandrene lol, you hit probably two of the most obscure "frank facts" there are. he got promoted when he went stateside and hawkeye tricked him into trying to invest in pioneer aviation. :) love it. i wish i had been around when it was actually on tv.
The only thing missing from this GREAT series was that they NEVER showed Frank as a human. A glaring missed opportunity. We got a chance to understand EVERY character except for him. He represented the hard-line conservative idiot, and was never given a voice. Even Stiers' "Winchester" character was given ample opportunity to humanize. But Burns - never. He lived and disappeared as the sole "evil conservative" in this series. I'm sorry, folks, but facts are facts.
@BBCater From what I can infer and guess is that Burns was not as bad a surgeon as he was made out to be, given the low fatality rate of the MASH unit; with only so many surgeons, if he was really as bad as they said he was it'd be much lower. He probably didn't have a good relationship with his father, evidenced in "Margaret's Engagement" when he said he had only one friend, who only pretended to like him, the way his dad used to.
There was a lot to work with to humanize him, sadly enough.
"Oh can the balloon juice pierce!" and "I'm sick of hearing about the wounded. What about all the thousands of wonderful guys who are fighting this war without any of the credit or the glory that always goes to those lucky few who just happen to get shot?" are two of my favourite quotes from him that i can remember atm
To think, that it has now been 10 years since Larry Linville's death. Too much smoking, and excessive drinking did him in. No matter how much of an Asshole he was in the TV Show, we still have to pay our respect for him.
Without Larry Linville in the role of Major Frank Burns, M.A.S.H. would not be the memorable show I grew up watching. He truelly was a great actor. R.I.P. Mr. Linville, thanks for enriching our lives.
I read somewhere that Larry Linville, the man, was practically the direct opposite of the character he played on M*A*S*H. Always kind, courteous, and friendly. It must have been difficult for him to play the Frank Burns character. He did an admirable job.
It is too bad that Larry Linville have to play the role of Frank Burns, an idiot that nobody like. If Frank Burns have not been drafted in as a doctor, he would not be allowed to be a surgern in the first place.
@Mrbrianjohnson951 : I think Larry Linville was "the" one to play this Frank Burns character...I can't think of anyone else that could have done it better... You have to admit he did a great job and he was funny and think we all loved him for the way he played the role. I surely didn't hate hate him for doing such a great acting job..,,
@Mrbrianjohnson951 : I was more or less agreeing with you. I know you didn't mean he was not a good actor or whatever, but my point, which I didn't phrase correctly, is that I think he played Frank Burn's character very well. I mean, you just had to admire his acting skills and ability to play, as you stated, an idiot. But he was a laugh and a half in a way if you can look past this and listen to the come back remarks by Hawkeye and Trapper etc. :-)
Well said "bsehawk" you took the words out of my mouth, Larry did have the hardest role to play and he did brilliantly. It's hard when you're a MASH fan to decide the best actor or character when they are all so fantastic, but Larry brought an amazing talent to his role and made Frank Burns human like even when he was at his most outrageous. Rest In Peace sir, you can be proud of the work you've done here on this earth
He definitely deserved some sort of award for the character he played. He was one of my favorite characters. When he left, it just wasn't the same M*A*S*H
I watched the series mainly because of Larry Linville, brilliant man and apparently well liked by the crew of MASH. RIP Larry......You were the fuel to those eary years on
I have a lot of respect for Larry Linville. You didn't think he was acting and that's a mark of his talent. Too bad he was probably typecast for the rest of his career.
You could hate his guts, & somehow feel empathy for / sorry for his character. Comparing Charles Winchester to Frank Burns was difficult because they were different. Maj. Winchester was allowed to become a 3 - dimensional human being instead of a self - important, self - righteous " patriotic - when - it's convenient " parody of a human being. Larry L. left because he ran out of things to do with such a " straw - man " cardboard character, bless him.
Frank Burns was the cement Wall on MASH. He was the straight man that everyone played against. Lary Linville was an acting Genius to pull that role off. Frank was representative of the Idiotic war moning mentality that put the American Serviceman in Harm's Way in the First Place.
Linville, had to have a Thick Skin of Armor,A Heart of Gold an he understood what Frank was and what he was trying to be. Eve nwhen being Dramatic Linville was Great onscreen. then he revereted back to being Frank.
Hawkeye and Trapper order drinks, ask what Frank is having, he snaps( to the bartender )"He knows what I,m having !". Bartender says "Another Shirley Temple"...priceless...
He was a victim of his own art. With strength of his portrayal of Frank, no one in the audience would believe that a person like Frank (and they're out there) would ever change to the extent that Hot Lips could, and did.
He entrenched in Frank all the hypocrisy that exists in the jingoism and militarism of the American right.
It's nice to see someone has a soft spot for Larry Linville and this character. I think Mr. Linville was being kind when he stated why he left the show. I think he knew his character wasn't going to be allowed to grow and develop like the others; otherwise the show loses its antagonist. If Burns had been allowed to grow and become more three-dimensional, I think he would have stayed. I think that's the fault of the writing, in not developing him. Too bad; Linville created a great character.
His character was, unfortunately, very one - dimensional. A hypocritical, inept, flag - waving martinet. But he had a few moments of real humanity mixed in as well. LL said he based his portrayal of Frank on " Every idiot I ever knew ". The episode where he went to pieces after Margaret got engaged & then Hawkeye & BJ took his side afterwards was great, you actually had a moment of real sympathy for him.
It's just too bad that Larry Linville died 10 years ago from too much smoking, and too much drinking. Makes you wonder why he himself didn't partake in Pierce's Still the one time he sent the MP's to confiscate and destroy it.
Ah, Frank. I don't care how much of an ass he was he was funny XD The one thing I will never forget is when they were all singing I don't want no more army life and frank stood up and said "Ol hawkeye and ol BJ they think they're pretty smart! I'd like to take a scaple and stab em in the heart!" XD I died laughing!
i grew up on this show. frank was always one of the best things about it. when margaret left for her honeymoon, he was so broken hearted. it was hard for me to like winchester. rip larry linville, thanks for the laughs.
I was in jr. high school when this show first come on the air...just loved it and still do. Frank was my favorite. I loved everyone else also, but Frank was very funny...Great show.
I like the video! but when he is playing maj.F.M.Burns he does great acting it just his cheater is so mean on the show though but sometimes he can be crazy though on M*A*S*H! too.
that is weird that Larry Linville died and Harry Morgan is alive! I grew up on this show and still laugh everytime i watch it. But they did get too preachy towards the end!
Actually, I think they got more realistic. They showed the true hellish realities of war, rather than trying to downplay them with humour. I liked it better that way.
There will never be another Major Frank Marion Burns ever again, always beaten at every turn. First by Hawk-Eye and Trapper, BJ after Trapper left, Potter when he took over command,and lastly Hot Lips when she got hitched. And here's a classic line from episode Two ,season Four "Change of Command" After finding out he has lost the command of the M*A*S*H:
I could do without the sappy music, but it was really sad when the world lost Larry Linville. He was great on MASH. Charles was a good character, too... but without Frank, that show just wouldn't have been as funny. RIP, Ferret Face.
M*A*S*H Just.. Wasn't M*A*S*H Without Frank... I Could Just About Stand The Loss Of Trapper, But Frank, No. Nor Henry, The Loss Of The 3 Combined, Just Stopped It Being As Funny..
I Like This Music

Larry Linville was the perfect stooge for the show. The very few dramitic scenes he had were very well played as well.

Harry Morgan is in a great new bio (Charlton Heston: An Incredible Life: Revised Edition). The bio is for sale at amazon!

that is weird that Larry Linville died and Harry Morgan is alive! I grew up on this show and still laugh everytime i watch it. But they did get too preachy towards the end!

Actually, I think they got more realistic. They showed the true hellish realities of war, rather than trying to downplay them with humour. I liked it better that way.

There will never be another Major Frank Marion Burns ever again, always beaten at every turn. First by Hawk-Eye and Trapper, BJ after Trapper left, Potter when he took over command,and lastly Hot Lips when she got hitched. And here's a classic line from episode Two ,season Four "Change of Command" After finding out he has lost the command of the M*A*S*H:
Frank: I already wrote Mommy!
Margaret: Aw your mother will understand.
F: I mean my wife.
M: Buzz off

They just don't make shows like MASH any more. MASH was the greatest.

I could do without the sappy music, but it was really sad when the world lost Larry Linville. He was great on MASH. Charles was a good character, too... but without Frank, that show just wouldn't have been as funny. RIP, Ferret Face.

M*A*S*H Just.. Wasn't M*A*S*H Without Frank... I Could Just About Stand The Loss Of Trapper, But Frank, No. Nor Henry, The Loss Of The 3 Combined, Just Stopped It Being As Funny..

I admit it was extremely sad when they left but every one moves on and it was still funny
