GARY BURGHOFF | 76

Growing up, Gary Burghoff had a congenital deformity in his left hand, but it did not stop the actor from going after his passion and training to become both a tap dancer and a drummer. In 1967, he started taking active roles. Burghoff‘s first lead role appearance in M*A*S*H in the late 80s became the avenue for his further success in the industry. After the show ended, he went on to land on more notable roles, including You’re A Good Man and Behind the Waterfall. Gary also starred in the television game show, Match Game.

Like many actors of his time, he also went on to author his autobiography. Did you know that Burghoff also has a patent for various products, including Chum Magic? He has been mostly inactive since 2010, but given the fortune he earned through his film work and other ventures, we’re sure he’s in no need of personal loans any time soon.
