Farrell famously starred in the hit sitcom M*A*S*H from 1972 to 1983, playing the role of B.J. Hunnicutt. B.J. was one of the doctors at the mobile army surgical hospital in South Korea during the Korean War. 40 years later, MASH still holds the title for the most-watched TV episode of all time, with its finale drawing between 105 and 120 million viewers.
