Larry Linville: (about getting cancer) I was scared. It wasn't like drinking. You could give up the bottle. You can't give up the big C.
Linville was a VIP at the closing ceremony of the last active M*A*S*H unit in Korea.
Linville was 6'1".
Linville only has one child: Kelly Linville, born in 1970. Kelly is now a photo technician in Los Angeles.
Besides acting, Linville has actually built and flown an airplane.
On M*A*S*H, Linville's character, Major Frank Burns, had the nickname "ferret face." The name was made up by Linville's brother.
Linville left M*A*S*H because he didn't want to be type-casted as a Frank-like character for the rest of his acting career. He had also felt he had accomplished everything he could do with his character.
In 1998, Linville was diagnosed with cancer in his lungs.
