Harry Morgan Tribute


Born April 10, 1915, died December 7, 2011.

Most notably known for his role as Dr. Sherman T. Potter on the television show M*A*S*H, Harry Morgan was by many standards one of the best character actors ever to set foot in Hollywood.  His filmography alone lists 159 titles and his career earned him 11 nominations for an Emmy award whereas he won 1 in 1980 for Outstanding supporting actor in a Comedy for M*A*S*H.  He also was nominated in 1982 for the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Comedy Series, and won both the Golden Boot Award in 1998 and TV Land Award for Coolest Crime Fighting Team in 2006 for his role in Dragnet 1967 shared with co-star Jack Webb.

I think it was the quote from Major Margaret Houlihan that said it best in the final episode of M*A*S*H, “My dear, sweet man.  I’ll never forget you.”  We will al miss you, Harry Morgan.  Rest in peace.
