Allan Arbus, who played psychiatrist Maj. Sidney Freedman on "M*A*S*H," died Friday at home in Los Angeles, his daughter Amy confirmed to The New York Times. He was 95.
Abrus, who had served as a military photography in the Army and ran a fashion photography business before becoming an actor, was so convincing in his role as Maj. Freedman, that co-star Alan Alda often found himself opening up to Arbus.

“We all voted for Swope cause we thought no one else would” is my standard stock explanation for two terms of Obama.
Flagg : “You’re lucky I got a sense of humor, Pierce”.
I couldn’t stand BJ Honeycutt. Trapper was my favorite.
This show started out funny...by the time it was cancelled I had grown quite tired of the liberal BS!!!! Still I wish his family well in their time of grief!!!
I had nothing against Sydney Freedman, but not long after he appeared, M.A.S.H. became too preachy on what they perceived to be the important (ie. leftist) social issues of the day. It was NOT funny by that point.
They should have ended it when Frank Burns left...
LOL - well played!
Wow!! I didn’t know he’d been married to Diane Arbus either. Thanks. Love her work....
That is true. I am shocked by his age.
My two favorite Syd Freidman episodes were the bonfire episode and the final episode.
He was really my favorite semi-regular character. RIP.
I remember seeing him on an episode of “Taxi”, playing the manager of a fighter named Carlos Navarrone (played by boxer Carlos Palomino.)
Nor could I stand BJ.
Wayne Rogers was much better but wanted a better billing and Alda’s ego couldn’t permit that so Rogers left.
