An iconic television figure, now in his mid-80s, was recently seen out and about in Los Angeles, going about his daily routine.

Despite his age, he appeared remarkably active and spirited—tending to his yard, handling household chores, and donning a cap with the phrase “Make America Normal Again.”

Passersby might not have immediately recognized him. Gone were the signature costumes of his most famous role, replaced with casual, contemporary clothing. But for those who looked closer, the face behind the sunglasses stirred a wave of nostalgia.

Only upon reflection does it become clear: the man spotted outside his home was Mike Farrell, best known for portraying B.J. Hunnicutt on the legendary sitcom MASH*.

Farrell’s role as the compassionate army doctor earned him a permanent place in TV history. He joined the show during its fourth season, stepping in to replace Wayne Rogers, and quickly won the hearts of millions with his warmth, wit, and humanity.

MASH, set during the Korean War, became one of the most beloved shows ever made, blending comedy and commentary in a way that left a lasting cultural impact.
