"MASH" was one of the finest TV comedies ever and boasted a stellar cast. One of the most memorable supporting cast, who made six or seven appearances in this series was Edward Winter playing the part of Intelligence officer Col. Sam Flagg.
Col. Flagg was a menacing, threatening figure, yet one who never quite successfully intimidated the two Army surgeons in the series' starring roles. Anyone who had ever had contact with military Intelligence operatives who were referred to as "spooks" just had to enjoy the way Winter handled this part.
Although Winter is most recognized for this delightful role, he has also appeared on other TV shows such as "Soap," "Columbo," "Mike Hammer,"Murder She Wrote," Night Court," "Golden Girls," Cagney & Lacey," Fantasy Island," and "Dallas."
He also appeared on Broadway, in "Cabaret" and "Promises, Promises."
Winter died of Parkinson's disease in 2001.
