He was born on January 28, 1936 in New York, so he is now 76.
His main career success was/is as the character Hawkeye Pierce is M*A*S*H.
And I guess I wanted to pay tribute to this man firstly because he played the character very well in the show but also for his work outside it.
Firstly, he has always been a supporter of feminism and women's rights which I find incredibly respectable. He is also interested in science and has presented programs on scientific research in the US and he produced a program about the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN, which is really kinda cool. I generally respect anyone who conveys science as something that is good.
Like it will change my opinion of someone if they are interested in Science, I guess because that's how I view people a bit, I mean if you are a nice person otherwise but don't have an interest in science that is cool too, but like if someone's a bit of a wanker, I will accept it more if I at least know they are slightly geeky or nerdy. Just saying.
Anyway, Alan Alda is pretty awesome, just cause he has had a really varied life and I like that he has more interests than just acting and such.
