Andrew Lincoln Gallery "Dear Carl.

Burns first appeared in the original novel, where he had the rank of captain. He is also known as "Ferret Face", a nickname first pinned on him by his brother. Nonetheless, he maintains a dismissive attitude toward his better-trained colleagues, blaming others for his own failures.

After the "Swampmen" learn that Burns is having an affair with Major Margaret O'Houlihan, Hawkeye taunts him about it, baiting him to attack just as Blake enters the tent.

The next day, Burns is permanently sent away for psychiatric evaluation in a straitjacket, shot full of tranquilizers. In the film and in the subsequent TV series, Frank Burns' rank is that of major. The film version includes elements of the novel's Major Jonathan Hobson, a very religious man who prays for all souls to be saved.

In the TV series, he is very high-strung, with a penchant for uttering what are often bizarre or redundant cliches and malapropisms; one example is from "The Interview" season 4, episode 24in which Burns describes marriage as "the headstone of American society".

In the TV series, Burns is a firm believer in military discipline and continues to fancy himself a superior surgeon, but his actions invariably reveal his incompetence and require one of the other surgeons to prevent him from making fatal mistakes.

Though by military rank Burns is second-in-command of the unit, he is outranked in medical matters by Hawkeye, who reluctantly accepts appointment by Blake as Chief Surgeon. When Burns is left in command of the unit per military regulationshe generally micromanages camp operations, just for the sake of being in command, but demonstrates a profound lack of military competence as well.

Burns and Hawkeye recount opposing versions of the events. Burns claims that he was performing superior work even going so far as to donate blood to a critically wounded soldier in between treating patients and performing the Last Rites benediction in Latin for the deceased after Father Mulcahy passed out from exhaustion.

Burns further asserts that the other surgeons could not keep up with him and complained that he was pushing them too hard.

In Hawkeye's presumably far more accurate account, Burns was borderline hysterical, and performed his duties with signature incompetence, which resulted in the near-deaths of multiple casualties.

After being confronted by Hawkeye, Burns was knocked unconscious by the operating room door. In any early episode, however, before his character becomes more of a buffoon, he demonstrates himself to be an efficient though, again, micromanaging commander.

In addition to his gullibility, Burns was shown to be incredibly greedy, selfish and occasionally childish; he is involved in a prescription kickback racket, falsifies his income taxes, and dabbles in the stock market.

He is also overly suspicious of Koreans, going as far as to claim that South Koreans are communist infiltrators and hustlers, and is openly racist against Native Americans although Colonel Potter, being part Cherokee, sternly puts a stop to that early on. Despite his ongoing affair with Major Houlihan, he is unwilling to divorce his wife because all his money, stocks and his house are in her name.

In one episode, his greed is such that he turns down a transfer to another unit because he is tricked by Hawkeye and Trapper into thinking there is gold in the hills near the camp.

Both medals are stolen by Hawkeye and given to people who earned them: They share a disdain for the "un-military" doctors, against whom they conspire ineffectively. His wife eventually hears of the affair and threatens him with divorce; he denies it, describing Houlihan as an "old war horse" and an "army mule with bosoms", beginning a rift that leads to her engagement to Donald Penobscott, a handsome lieutenant colonel stationed in Tokyo.

Nurse Kellye and a "little red-haired nurse"; he nearly blows himself up with a grenade; he "captures" a Korean family and their ox and almost fires his carbine in Potter's office at the suggestion that he is heading for a Section Eight discharge.

Following Houlihan's marriage, Burns suffers a mental breakdown while on a week's leave in Seoul. He accosts a female WACa female Red Cross worker, and an army general and his wife in a hot bath, mistaking the couple for the Penobscotts.

He is transferred stateside for psychiatric evaluation, but although the th is delighted to be rid of him, Burns seems to have the last laugh.

He telephones to claim he has been cleared of all charges, promoted to lieutenant colonel and assigned to a veteran's hospital in his hometown. Burns' departure from the series stemmed from Linville's frustration with the character, which he felt offered no further opportunities for development.
