M*A*S*H* star David Ogden Stiers has revealed that he is gay…..To the surprise of absolutely no one.

“I am [gay],” the 66-year-old actor said in an interview with the blog Gossip-Boy.com. “Very proud to be so.”

The two-time Emmy-nominated actor portrayed Major Charles Winchester on the long-running comedy series. He says his successful career as a voice actor caused him to remain in the closet for so many years.

“I enjoy working and even though many have this idealistic belief that the entertainment industry and studios like Walt Disney are gay friendly. For the most part they are, but that doesn’t mean for them that business does not come first. It’s a matter of economics,” David explains. “Most of my more notable work in the last two decades has been as a voice actor. Certainly, I’ve done television appearances, be they recurring or guest roles, and numerous motion picture and documentary stints, but a lot of my income has been derived from voicing Disney and family programming. What they might allow in a more known actor, they prefer not having to deal with in minor players.”

David’s voice credits include the characters Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast, both Ratcliffe and Wiggins in Pocahontas, and The Archdeacon in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
