My Take
For me, William Christopher will always be Father Mulcahy on M*A*S*H, the gentle conscience amid the chaos of war. It's easy to overlook a supporting role like that, but holding one tender, decent character for over a decade demands quiet mastery. An Evanston native and Wesleyan graduate, he brought real intelligence and comic timing to work that never begged for the spotlight. I have a soft spot for actors who lower the temperature of a scene rather than dominate it. He passed on the last day of 2016, and performers of his understated kind deserve to be remembered fondly.
