His fellow cast members adored him, and director Charles Dubin remembered him as caring and pleasant. Burghoff’s portrayal of Radar included moments that revealed his disability, such as when he held a football or performed a salute. In one scene, Radar’s hands were visible as he opened a box with both hands, and in another, he lifted his left hand for a double salute.
Memorable scenes included Radar hearing approaching helicopters before everyone else, performing his usual morning salute, and cuddling his pet guinea pig, Babette. These moments showcased his unique character and the gentle humor of the show.
