David Ogden Stiers was a multifaceted American actor, voice actor, and musician known for his classical training and rich baritone voice. Born on October 31, 1942, in Peoria, Illinois, Stiers deeply immersed himself in the world of performance and music. He achieved widespread acclaim for his role as Major Charles Emerson Winchester III on the television series "M*A*S*H," but his talents extended far beyond the screen into the realm of voice acting and classical music. His foray into the world of animation included significant contributions to Disney classics, with voice roles that etched his work into the hearts of audiences around the world.

One of his remarkable works is the voice portrayal of the Archdeacon in Disney's animated feature, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," released in 1996, which showcased Stiers' ability to bring animated characters to life with empathy and authority. The success of the original film later led to a release titled "The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Storyette)," where Stiers continued his role, further cementing his legacy as a versatile artist. Apart from lending his voice to films, he also narrated an album for children titled "Ferdinand the Bull and Friends," teaming up with cellist Nina Flyer and pianist Chie Nagatani to create a family-friendly project intertwining storytelling and classical music. This album is an illustration of his commitment to bridging the gap between the performing arts and younger audiences. David Ogden Stiers passed away on March 3, 2018, leaving behind a legacy that encompasses an impressive span of roles across television, film, and music.
