* ''[[~~MASH|~~M* A* S* H]]'' had Major Charles Winchester III, a Back Bay-bred Boston Brahmin.

* ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|M*A*S*H]]'' had Major Charles Winchester III, a Back Bay-bred Boston Brahmin.

** Trapper John McIntyre was also from (a presumably less fashionable part of) Boston. Given [[The Irish Diaspora|his name]] (in full, John Francis Xavier McIntyre), it's likely he's a Southie, although neither the film nor TV version used that specific accent.

** Hawkeye Pierce was supposedly the son of a lobsterman from Crabapple Cove, Maine, though (perhaps wisely) neither Donald Sutherland in the film nor Alan Alda in the series ever attempted a proper downeast accent, though it is mentioned in the original novels.
