Farrell grew a Walrus moustache for the B.J. at the start of M*A*S*H's seventh season. Despite the fact that such a moustache below the upper lip was once a clear violation of Army uniform policy, particularly when left untrimmed. The usually clean-shaven Farrell grew it out for the style, as well as fashion trends at the time, making the moustache a hit for the first time since the twentieth century, in large part thanks to fellow actors such as Burt Reynolds and Tom Selleck, as well as The Mustache Gang of the Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball. Although Farrell will keep the moustache for the B.J. Farrell himself got bored of it and didn't want to be portrayed in "B.J.-like roles" for the remainder of his career, despite seeing a rise in acting jobs as a result. Farrell would shave it off straight after the series ended, returning to a clean-shaven appearance soon after.
