PRICKLY! In 1986, former MASH TV actor Harry Morgan had a bad experience at his local grocery store when he encountered a fan who addressed him laughing loudly “HEY, IT’S HAIRY ORGAN!”
The comment was made in a joking manner but it violently angered Mr. Morgan who quickly snapped back, “That’s enough of that! You can be nice or you can be gone!! My name is not Hairy Organ! What the hell is wrong with you?”
After this incident, the actor became much more cautious about dealing with fans.
He later said, “I used to be very patient and kind, but after that I began to be a bit careful. I can’t even get my damned groceries anymore.”
