G.W. Bailey

George W. Bailey (born August 27, 1945 in Port Arthur, Texas) is a veteran stage, television and film character actor. Athough he appeared in many dramatic roles, he may be best remembered for his "crusty" comedic characters such as Captain Thaddeus Harris in Police Academy (1984) and Staff Sergeant Luther Rizzo in M*A*S*H (TV-Series 1972 - 1983).
