Jamie Farr was 38 when he started playing Klinger on M*A*S*H in 1972, 48 when the series ended in 1983, and 50 when AfterMASH ended its short run. How much did he and his character change over the years? Check out this gallery to find out:
The gallery features screenshots from two episodes from all 11 seasons of M*A*S*H. As a bonus, I’ve included two screenshots from the first season of AfterMASH and one screenshot from the second season.
Other than the drastic change in his wardrobe, going from the dresses and other outlandish outfits, to being in uniform, Klinger didn’t really change all that much over the seasons . . . you can see just a little bit of age in his face towards the end, but other than that, his appearance remained very much consistent.
Oh, and Arj, I think you meant “Chief Surgeon, Who?”, not “M*A*S*H – The Pilot” 😉
