There have been rumors for years that one cast member of M*A*S*H just could not handle working with Gary Burghoff. Fans all throughout the world appreciated the actor, best known for his famous portrayal as Radar O’Reilly, however it seems that not everyone on set shared this sentiment.

Insiders are now revealing the facts. Tension reportedly increased as a result of Burghoff’s tendency toward perfection and his occasionally challenging demeanor while filming. Behind the camera, what viewers saw as innocence and sweetness was actually a source of conflict that annoyed at least one co-star.

On set, the conflict got so public that it was kept a secret. Members of the crew remembered cold silences, cold conversations, and times when the distaste was unmistakable. Those who saw the drama were aware that there was no love lost between Burghoff and his co-star, despite the show’s popularity masking it.

Decades later, the cause is at last publicly known: egos and tempers battled behind the famous TV moments and laughing. It turns out that the very human tension simmering just out of sight was too strong to be eliminated by traditional television wizardry.
