I love that part too! So funny!!!

Alan's smile is completely infectious.

Nice hands too.

I think Alan Alda Jr was a really nice guy I just never cared for his character on MASH although I am appreciating it a little more every year as I get older. Alan really got into this game ad was a good player.

And good teeth. 😀

@@ParadiseVids it is I thought he was hot..,.did you know Robert Alda and his second wife Flora, Alan's stepmother wrote a cookbook 99 Ways to Cook Pasta??????..also Robert Alda was on the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives in the late '70s-early ' 80s?????!!!..also on the show in the early ' 70s was Mike Farrell before he was on M*A*S*H* as Captain B J Hunnicutt..I hope you will reply to this

Good ole eyehawk

@@KandiKlover You mean 'Hawkeye', right? Lol. Hmm, maybe I should read The Last of the Mohecans......

Teal'c 4107 met Hawkeye but he his nickname was after Hawkeye from The Last of the Mohicans. His full name was Benjamin Franklin Pierce after a President and an inventor/Founding Father of the constitution

I just saw the final episode the other day and cried my eyes out. Seeing both Alda’s on a show with silly voices made me laugh just as hard as I cried

There was one episode where both Alan's father AND brother were guests. And they played off each other very well, as if they had be doing this kind of schtick all their lives. (which they probably had. :) )

@@marksebree5218 That episode is called "Lend A Hand" where Borterilli and Hawkeye go up to an aid station together where the surgeon had been killed. Antony Alda played a medic who pretty much put his father and older brother in their place while the two of them were at each other's throats, squabbling over every little thing.

@gracealexandre338 you can also see where Alan got his good looks from huh????!!!!..Robert Alda was handsome wasn't he????!!!!!!!!!!!!!....I was surprised to see Robert with a mustache..I hope you will reply to this6

@@sherryhannah498 Honestly, Alan is a lot more handsome than his father. Even today, his eyes and constant smile help to make that handsome look. You don't need hair to look handsome.

Tragically, Anthony Alda passed away a few years ago.

Which episode was it?

@@kroakie4”Lend A Hand”

Not only that, but Robert was one of the few guests stars who had the privilege of working with _both_ MASH casts; first, with Trapper, Frank and Henry then with BJ, Charles and Colonel Potter.

same with myself and my dad

So do I he is my favorite actor on mash

Kirsten Vaccaro especially now that Alan is older, look at when they acted together in M*A*S*H. Alan looks like a clone of his father today with white hair.

Robert was on 2 episode of M*A*S*H, his other son Anthony was also on the second episode. He was the medic when Robert and Alan had hurt their arm and had to work together. That one was around 1980 I believe.

Really? I can't see it.

I know - he looks more like he should be John Astin's father.

TheStarToursTraveler family

If you think that's bad. Arlene was fooled, not once, not twice, but 3 times by her own son on WML!

I read Alan Alda's Autobiographical book, "Never have your dog stuffed, and other things I've learned" One of my favorite books; I think you would enjoy it. Starting right in first sentence of the first chapter, he begins describing his tumultuous family life. He was born in 1936, into a show-biz family. His dad, a star in his own right, was playing in burleque back then and often-times on the road. He always took his family with him. Alan recalls his experiences growing up back-stage. Alan actually started to learn his trade at a very young age, and he eagerly absorbed it. His father and other fellow performers took him under their wing and promoted him, even featuring him onstage in comedy bits. Alan started learning and memorizing, rehearsing and performing burlesque/vaudeville comedy routines starting at age 2, and his confidence, delivery and timing came very naturally to him by the time he was 3 he had already begun challenging his dad and vying for the spotlight. It is a great auto-biography, very entertaining, exciting, yet heartwarming, like MASH, and of course filled with his amusing and often sarcastic humor.

You're so right. Ron Howard and family come to mind as well

Italian laughs 😅

There's two and one with his lil brother as well.

He was on MASH twice

Not so much alcoholic as suffering from shell shock/battle fatigue and needing a drink to get past it.

No doubts on Meredith MacRae.

I know exactly which Twilight Zone episode you are talking about.

80 now

Mark Richardson January 28, 1936

I don't think it works that way.

His brother was in one as well.

Left and right doctors.

"The Consultant" from Season 3 and "Lend A Hand" from Season 8, both times as Dr. Borelli. Brother Antony was in the latter. Robert became one of the few guest actors on "M*A*S*H" to work with Stevenson, Rogers and Linville, and Morgan, Farrell and Ogden Stiers playing the same character.

His father was in a few episodes too.

It's more perhaps French California wine today in terms of winery ownership.

Alan Alda is 82 now and his father Robert died in 1986

1968

@@Gravydog316 Larry Blyden didn't start hosting the show until 1972.

Owlish? Never heard that term before.

@@dallasbrubaker6054 Turns his head while speaking. In his younger acting days he did this alot. As MASH got older, he stopped, probably from watching himself in the dailies over the years.

@@spuwho I never noticed

I'm pretty sure the credits say it was 1973

johnnyenglish009 It wasn't filmed, it was taped.

Regarding Bob's comment on California wines, watch Bottle Shock and note how relevant this is...

Splitting hairs, Robert S.

In what year did Alan Alda pass away?

@@tomcloss9764 He's alive, and kicking! Battling Parkinson's, but doing well. He's got a great podcast called Clear and Vivid.

Alan still alive

Alan's new Clear & Vivid season starts next week. It's great!

Over half the actors and actresses have changed their names, so your comment is a total lie.

@@RonGerstein No, half of the actors & actresses are a lie.

@rossmartenak5517 Are you high on angel dust? No actor/actress are lies. You better never comment again about actors/actresses.

@@RonGerstein yes like Dean Martin was born Dino Crocetti
