Before the following stars were super famous in Hollywood, they made a special appearance on M*A*S*H. Remember seeing dreamy Patrick Swayze who played a solider with leukemia on the show? Or Leslie Nielsen who played a Colonel? What about Xander Berkeley who played a marine? Or Gregory Harrison who played Lt. Tony Baker? The list goes on and on folks!

Names matter
The writers of the show chose very specific names for the characters. There’s an episode in season six where the characters are named after the 1977 California Angels players. And in another episode, one character was actually named after a writer’s ex-girlfriend. Which is quite the way to honor an relationship.
