Biography
In contrast to the insufferably intellectual characters he has played so often and so well, David Ogden Stiers wasn't much of a student while growing up in Eugene, Oregon. Like many another "underachiever," Stiers excelled at the things he was truly interested in, such as music (he played piano and french horn) and acting. After flunking out of the University of Oregon, Stiers stepped up his amateur-theatrical activities, and at age 20 was hired by the California Shakespeare Festival at Santa Clara, where he spent the next seven years performing the Classics. After briefly working with the famous San Francisco improv group The Committee, Stiers attended Julliard, in hopes of improving his vocal delivery. Evidently his training paid off: in 1974, Stiers co-starred with Zero Mostel in the Broadway production Ulysses in Nighttown, then went on to appear opposite Doug Henning in the long-running musical The Magic Show. Despite his success, Stiers detested New York, and at the first opportunity he "ran screaming" back to the West Coast. He was cast in the short-lived sitcom Doc in 1975, and the following year played an important role in the 90-minute pilot for Charlie's Angels, though he passed when offered a regular assignment in the Angels series proper. Stiers' performance as a stuttering TV executive in a 1976 Mary Tyler Moore Show episode led to his being cast as the overbearing Major Charles Emerson Winchester on the ever-popular M*A*S*H; at first signed to a two-year contract, Stiers remained with the series until its final episode in February of 1983. Before, during and after his tenure on M*A*S*H, Stiers kept busy in made-for-TV films, lending his patented authoritativeness to such real-life characters as Dr. Charles Mayo (in 1977's A Love Affair: The Eleanor and Lou Gehrig Story), critic and social arbiter Cleveland Amory (1984's Anatomy of an Illness) and President Franklin D. Roosevelt (1987's J. Edgar Hoover). He was also seen as pontificating DA Michael Reston in several of the Perry Mason TV-movies of the late 1980s. Disney animation devotees will remember Stiers for his voiceover work as Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast (1988) and Lord Ratcliffe in Pocahontas (1995). Parlaying his lifelong love of classical music into a second career, David Ogden Stiers has served as guest conductor for over 70 major U.S. symphony orchestras.
Has conducted 70 orchestras in over 100 appearances. He is Resident Conductor of the Newport Symphony Orchestra.
Some of the _"M*A*S*H (1972)"_ actors jokingly had his dressing room painted orange and purple while Stiers was off for Thanksgiving break.
Was a high school classmate of Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert.
Provided the voice of Cogsworth the clock in Disney's "Beauty & the Beast". His advice to the Beast on what to give Belle, "Flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...", was his own creation.
Provided several other voices for Disney: Gov. Ratcliffe & Wiggins in "Pocahontas" & "Pocahontas II"; Narrator in "Beauty & the Beast"; and the Archdeacon in "Hunchback of Notre Dame".
He is often given small roles in Woody Allen films for which he receives high billing considering his screen time.
On _M*A*S*H (1972)_ , he played an Harvard alum and in real life, Stiers taught theater games at Harvard.
Never learned to drive until the early 1980s, when a TV-movie role called for him to be seen driving.
Has a son from a relationship in the 1960s.
Graduated High School at North Eugene High School, Oregon.
Tallest cast member of the TV series M*A*S*H (1972).
Played French Horn in the orchestra at Julliard (rather more amusing when considering an episode of M*A*S*H where he bothers Hawkeye and B.J. with persistent bad Horn playing).
His last name is pronounced "styers".
