At the time of his death, Christopher was 84-years-old. He passed away on the morning of New Year’s Eve at his home in Pasadena.
According to his death note, Christopher was in the acting industry for 60 years. He was a featured actor on shows such as Murder She Wrote, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Patty Duke Show. However, Christopher will always be best known for his role in MASH.
Other acting credits for Christopher include recurring roles on Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C, and Hogan’s Heroes as well as a few guest roles on shows such as Mad About You and Lois and Clark.
Last week, Christopher’s former co-star Alan Alda gave a statement on the late actor.
“His pals from #MASH miss Bill powerfully. His kind strength, his grace, and gentle humor weren’t acted. They were Bill. #WilliamChristopher,” Alda tweeted.
