Farewell to a Legend

To the world, he may not be the most famous actor, but to me he was one of the greats.  Harry Morgan is one of those who inspired the best.  Harry Morgan is one who I've learned so much from.  Whether he's Colonel Sherman T. Potter commanding Hawkeye and Radar in the Army, or he's the Angel "Roy Zerney" helping out a man named Charley find some balance in his life, or even Mayor Olly Perkins looking for a respectable Sheriff to bring justice to the town, Harry Morgan delivered a great message.

I don't really have a great way with words, but a picture's worth a thousand words, so here are a few of my favorite roles he plays:


Colonel Sherman T. Potter (from M*A*S*H)



Homer McCoy (from The Apple Dumpling Gang)



The Angel, Roy Zerney (from Charley and the Angel)


Mayor Olly Perkins (from Support Your Local Sheriff!)


 

As in the words of Colonel Sherman T. Potter, "Too-da-loo"

  1. I love the Col. Potter montage! Jason and I both thought of different movies that he starred in. Mine is Charley and the Angel, his is Support Your Local Sheriff. Either way it was a great day when he turned from law student to actor. The world is better for knowing him.
