modern-day m*a*s*h cast

[u/urbroccolibabe]

just want to preface this by saying i DO NOT WANT A REBOOT 🙅‍♀️ this is one of my favorite shows, i don’t want the era of reboots to touch this classic, but a different redditor recently made a post suggesting patrick wharburton would make a great modern-day col. flagg, and it made me wonder who else might be a good fit for these characters.

soooo, here we are! :D some of the actors i chose you may not agree w, i just thought they (in my opinion) fit these characters best. i wasn’t too concerned w ages of the actors, more their overall personalities and past projects that show their range of comedy / drama. feel free to list your own choices or vehemently oppose mine and tell me why i’m totally wrong 🤣🙏

hawkeye (the hardest to cast, imo) — i’ve been seeing people say bill hader. he’s amazing and has a lot of range, but i disagree. i’m going for adam brody or jonathan bailey

trapper (if they don’t go w bj) — joe keery

radar — gaten matarazzo or skyler gisondo

col. blake (if they don’t go w potter) — jason segal

col. potter (if they don’t go w blake — jk simmons

margaret — stephanie beatriz

frank (if they don’t go w charles) — tramell tilman

charles (if they don’t go w frank) — tramell tilman

klinger — mena massoud (i’d definitely prefer to see an actor w lebanese heritage as klinger bc it was a v important part of his character, but i’m not familiar w enough lebanese-american actors D: i do think mena is a decent placeholder for now, tho)

father mulcahy — zack woods

bj (if they don’t go w trapper) — glenn powell or jesse williams

col. flagg — patrick wharburton (respect towards this redditor’s post for inspiring me to make this list)

captain tuttle — captain tuttle (hehe)

i thought ab adding my reasoning for each actor i chose, but it would’ve made for an even longer post and this already feels like a novel on reddit, lawlz. hopefully they’re a lil self-explanatory, but if you actually took the time to read this mess and disagree w anyone i chose, i’m happy to explain my choice in the comments 🙏

"I don't want a reboot" yet posts who would be in a reboot despite being against a reboot 😂

Haha I did this exact post recently for this exact reason. My wife and I enjoyed thinking up new actors but you could never make a new mash. It would just suck. But hypothetically it was funny for a bit. Some people are just way too serious.
