What About David Ogden Stiers?
You may know David Ogden Stiers from his M*A*S*H days, or from any of his many roles since then, but did you know that he was also cast as Scott Woodville in the pilot for Charlie’s Angels?
As “Scott,” he worked for the infamous (and secretive) Charlie Townsend. He was a back-up for the Angels, and also John Bosley’s superior. Unfortunately, the executives didn’t like the character (or were less than “impressed”) and the role was cut when ABC picked it up for production. It wasn’t much of a blip on the career trajectory of Stiers, but it’s still interesting trivia. How might the show have been different with him as one of main characters?
