I have loved Alan Alda since MASH but his life has been full of far more than this series. He not only was the star but a highly under rated director. He led a cast into artistic masterpieces. He had a sense of creativity that is unparralleled. His addition to the Television Show ER is also amazingly great as he plays another doctor that has more human interests than money or politics. That is the great thing about Alan Alda. He shows more focus on humanity and people. He does not seem to care about political agendas. But if you really focus on his works there is an agenda. He brings a face to war, disease, hardship, and many other situations that people face constantly. The moral lessons that he trys to convey are those of love thy fellow man. His writings in MASH reflect this the most when his ideas were more openly expressed. Being offered many jobs in the past he has not fallen bellow a standard that he sets for himself. Refusing to glorify war and choosing his roles makes him not only a great actor but a great influencial person on the people exposed to his works.
