After seven years of playing the beloved Corporal Radar O'Reilly, Gary Burghoff decided to leave the series M*A*S*H. In his farewell episode, there was a scene where he, heartbroken, enters the operating room to see his friends one last time. In real life, Burghoff was going through a painful divorce. The pain he was feeling was real. After the director yelled "Cut!", he couldn't break character. He just stood there, trembling, and then broke down in tears. Loretta Swit, who played Margaret Houlihan, hugged him and said, "It's okay. You don't have to be Radar right now." For the audience, it was Radar saying goodbye to Korea. But for the actors on set, it was Gary saying goodbye to his family. It wasn't acting. It was life.
