Jeff & Ryan are proud to welcome Clyde Kusatsu to MASH Matters! Mr. Kusatsu is a veteran character actor who made four guest appearances on M*A*S*H playing three different roles. We “talk story” about his early years in Hawaii, learning comedy from Looney Tunes, working with Jackie Cooper, overcoming stereotypes in Hollywood, going toe-to-toe with Archie Bunker, and much more!
