I'm kind of a fan of making connections in movies and TV, you know, this actor played this role, and was in this show with so and so...you get it. Anyway, this has happened many times in M*A*S*H the TV series. For example, the venerable character actor Pat Morita guest starred on the show twice as Captain Sam Pak of the Republic of Korea Army. But perhaps one of his most famous roles was as Matsuo "Arnold" Takahashi, owner of the diner Arnold's in the long running sitcom Happy Days. Did you know that there is a connection between Happy Days and M*A*S*H? Yep. Actor/Director/Writer Ron Howard, who played Richie Cunningham on Happy Days also played a big role in the M*A*S*H season one, episode "Sometimes You Hear The Bullet" as Marine Private Walter Peterson. Pretty cool huh?
