2016 has claimed perhaps its last celebrity, in what has been a deadly year. William Christopher, who played Father John Mulcahy on hit TV series, M*A*S*H, has died. He was 84.
Christopher shared the small screen with a star studded cast, including Alan Alda, Jamie Farr, Mike Farrell, Loretta Swit and Harry Morgan.

Christopher, who played a Catholic priest but was actually Methodist in real life, auditioned for the role but went off script with a rambling ad lib. Producers loved it and hired him on one condition … that he stay on script for the series. h/t tmz
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Christopher’s family and friends at this difficult time.
