G.W. Bailey, who played the cigar-chomping Sgt. Luther Rizzo on the television series "M*A*S*H," is getting an award for promoting positive family values.
Bailey, who also portrayed the fanatical drill instructor Capt. Harris in the "Police Academy" movies, will receive the 1993 Nebraskaland Days Buffalo Bill award on June 18."It's exciting to have G.W. Bailey coming to North Platte," said Jeff O'Connor, president of Nebraskaland Days. "He fits our role of good family entertainment, which is what our celebration is all about."
Barry Corbin, who plays a former astronaut on the television series "Northern Exposure," was last year's recipient.
