General
Charles O'Hara, Portrayed by Peter Woodward in the movie The
Patriot (2000)
General Charles O'Hara does little but snivel to General Charles
Cornwallis. He basically acts like General Cornwallis' lapdog
throughout the film. The one exception is when he reigns in Colonel
William Tavington during Benjamin Martin's visit to General Cornwallis
under a flag of truce. What might have been O'Hara's 'big scene' at the
end of the film when he surrenders to General George Washington
following the Battle of Yorktown is reduced to a narration by Benjamin
Martin.
