Veteran actor Patrick Adiarte, who played Ho-Jon in the first season of the hit war comedy-drama M*A*S*H, has died. He was 82. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Adiarte’s niece, Stephanie Hogan, confirmed he passed away on Tuesday (April 15) in a Los Angeles-area hospital of pneumonia.

Born on August 2, 1942, in Manila, Philippines, Adiarte and his sister Irene, along with their mother Purita, were imprisoned by the Japanese in 1945 during the Second World War. His father worked as a captain for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and was killed that same year.
