Littlejohn
 At
six-foot, six inches tall, Littlejohn is the gentle giant of Company K. Kind-hearted and
friendly, Littlejohn finds some good in everyone he meets. Though he seems a hayseed,
he’s perceptive about people and is hard to con. Don’t ask if Littlejohn is a
nickname or his last name. Even Dick Peabody didn’t know. Altman never told anyone.
