That was the first film I saw him in and I enjoyed his performance. It is sort of funny that he plays General Custer, since he did that in Little Big Man. At the time Teachers came out he seemed to be in several films that I saw at the time. He was in the awful Meatballs 2, Micki and Maude, and the next year's Heavenly Kid.

Burt (naturally)
Dr.Harry Weston (again, naturally)
Yet, there is one role of Richard's that attracted me the most
Mr.Granville Whipple from the Little House On The Priaire episode "A Soldier's Return"

Agreed! In a film with so many great memorable performances, he really stood out in Little Big Man. What a true showcase of talent that picture was! It's still a treat to watch even 37 years after it's release and Richard Mulligan's performance alone makes it worth the while, not because it was a historically accurate portrayal of general Custer, but because he shaped the character and made it all his own. Here's to a wonderful actor who made his mark in the kind of movie that stands the test of time.

I really like his performance as William Seward in Lincoln. I also liked the guest appearance he made on Little House on the Prairie as the morphine addicted Civil War veteran.

"Teachers"-There are teachers who actually do dress up in historical dress in history classes.
Custer in "Little Big Man".
"Empty Nest"
"Babes in Toyland"-He was really comically slimy in this one. He had a tough actor to follow in this role which was Ray Bolger in the Disney version.
"Heavenly Kid"-His motorcycle riding character was really good.
