CHINA BEACH (1988)  -- Jeff Kober as Marine Sergeant Evan "Dodger" Winslow

 

Plot: Popular series about an army hospital and recreation center at China Beach and the  women who served there.



Character Synopsis: Dodger is a super-competent soldier who chooses to spend most of his time in the bush ... not for glory or because he likes it, but to help keep as many soldiers alive as he possibly can.  Quiet and retiring, he keeps to himself, befriending only three people -- McMurphy, Boonie and Cherry.


This really was an excellent show and Jeff,
as Dodger, gave a heart-rendingly poigniant
performance as a damaged soul trying to retain
his humanity.  Dodger was originally a
supporting role.  But by season two he became
a regular because he was very popular with
the audience. -- songbird
