Say what you will about Radar, but he did have to do that scene multiple times.
And IMO he nailed the one they ended up using in the actual episode.
No one said he wasn't a good actor. But I can believe (as suggested by a poster above) that he was hard to deal with.
Agree.
Was just commenting on his performance in that scene as I read he had to do it multiple times.
Doing it as many times as needed is his job. But I agree that the result was excellent. Sometimes obnoxious people are very good at what they do -- I'm sure you know many examples.
This and was also previously mentioned, Old Yeller. Read both when I was a kid. Think I cried about both
I'm sure you would agree that the vast majority of obnoxious posters on this site are far from brilliant -- indeed, they are obnoxious because they sense that they can't support their positions rationally and so they resort to insulting others.
Got "over" all of them but the most memorable was Robert Duvall's death in "Lonesome Dove."
Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones are retired Texas Rangers who decide to drive cattle to Montana.
Duvall (Augustus McCrae) gets shot in an Indian fight and one his deathbed he makes Jones (Woodrow F. Call) promise that he'll take Duvalls' body back to Texas to be buried along a river where he spent time with his lost love. Its a memorable trip back
I think its the best western ever and Duvall said it was his favorite role. He based his portray on Sammy Baugh's mannerisms

Lonesome Dove: A Promise Between Two Men
Thomas in "The Patriot" was heart wrenching. How about Dobby the house elf in Harry Potter - brought tears to my eyes.
Funny story about that. Coworker was telling her mom that (Larry) Doby had died. Same time as a new Potter book came out - not the one that Dobby dies. Her husband freaked out because he thought she was talking about the Potter book and had just spoiled it for him.
Imho this is the biggest tear jerking scene of all time:
This is a good one and kicked off one of the greatest TV story arcs I've ever seen with the Trinity Killer.
John Wick's dog and neither did he. I wanted them all dead and got satisfaction out of each death.
Maggie from Million Dollar Baby. For some reason that one choked me up.

I think the answer is neither. Reportedly, Burghoff was just a pain in the ass to work with. Plus near the end of his run on the show, he was going through a messy divorce, which may have soured his disposition further.
