Gary Burghoff
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Gary Burghoff (born May 24, 1943) is the actor who played the character Corporal Walter "Radar" O'Reilly in both the movie and television series M*A*S*H. He also played Charlie Brown in the 1967 off-Broadway musical You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Born with a club foot and his left hand deformed, Burghoff uses props to deflect attention: in Charlie Brown he had a baseball glove on that hand most of the time, and in the M*A*S*H television series, he usually had a clipboard in it.
In addition to acting, Burghoff also works as a professional jazz drummer and a wildlife painter.
