  Jamie Farr - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jamie Farr (born on July 1, 1934 in Toledo, Ohio), birth name Jameel Joseph Farah, is an American television and film actor of Lebanese descent.
Although Farr was off to a promising start, roles were infrequent for the young actor, and he took jobs as a delivery person, a post office clerk, an army surplus store clerk, an airlines reservations agent and as an employee at a chinchilla ranch.
Farr began to carve his niche in television when, in the late 1950s, he became a regular on The Red Skelton Show before graduating to second banana with Harvey Korman on The Danny Kaye Show.

 Bio for Jamie Farr on MSN Movies
One of Farr's one-day bits was for the sixth episode of the new TV series M*A*S*H in 1972; Farr had the almost wordless role of a GI who dressed in women's clothing in hopes of getting out of the Army.
Farr's role was expanded when Gary Burghoff left M*A*S*H in 1979; promoted to company clerk, Klinger began to thrive in the military, and the outrageous costuming was allowed to lapse.
Unfortunately neither Farr nor Klinger were able to extend their audience appeal into the sequel series After M*A*S*H, not even when the scripts contrived to have Klinger become a fugitive from justice in a move to repeat his "outsider" status on M*A*S*H.

 Transcript of interview with actor Jamie Farr from M*A*S*H
JAMIE: I think that's very important that you don't.....it really makes you a better actor, it makes you a better person to know where you came from, because where ever you go there is somebody in some town, city, hamlet, whatever, that has the same dreams that you have.
JAMIE: They were off the rack with the exception of the Statue of Liberty outfit and a couple of other outfits that they actually had to make for me because they were special, but basically they were off the rack.
JAMIE: Well first of all it was very sad and at the same time it was very tiring because you must understand, when you're doing that kind of a show and you're part of everybody's household, be it the United States, Canada or the rest of the world, you're leaving them.

In short, they want Farr, who lends his name to the region's premier sports event, The Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, the recent LPGA golf tournament that has raised more than $US4 million ($A5.29 million) for local children's charities.
Yet a local park and a public pool are named for Farr; he's the larger-than-life face that wishes you a pre-recorded happy birthday on the scoreboard screen if you spend your special day at the Mud Hens' baseball stadium.
But they mention, again and again, that Farr, who grew up poor on the city's north end, the son of Lebanese immigrants, is of and for Toledo in a way that Holmes, so far, is not.
