Luther Rizzo

Sgt. Luther Rizzo was the fictional head of the motor pool on the TV series M*A*S*H. He was played by G.W. Bailey.

He was known for his slow, deep, Louisiana drawl and his slightly disheveled look. Though the motor pool seemed to function well, it did so despite Rizzo's casual work style and frequent naps. His philosophy on success in the army was that it was possible provided none of his superiors ever saw him enjoy his work.

Rizzo was not above taking advantage of his fellow soldiers, as when he lent Maj. Winchester, atypically strapped for cash, $50 at $100 interest compounded daily. He also tormented the other members of the 4077th with a non-functioning grenade.

His wife was Zola and his child, his "pride and joy," was Little Billy Bubba.
