I love how he interrupts the interviewer when the guy has no idea what to ask or where he is going.

I also find it interesting how he says that many of his performances could have been better. Shows that he is a really great man.

Alan Alda is my hero I watch MASH everynight Thanks for the video I loved it

To be honest, when the last episode of M*A*S*H aired, I cried so much

Alan Alda has to be one of my favorite actors of all time and favorite human beings and i feel bad he had to deal with this interviewer

(Tried to post this after the last installment, system would not allow it, so I'll post it here):

Watched two segments a night for the past three nights... what a delightful way to spend three evenings, and what a delightful person to spend it with.

Between this series of interviews, and the "Inside the Actors Studio" stuff you can find out here, I've just about given up television altogether.

(On to the Harry Morgan interview...)

8:25 to 9:00 is so cool..when he is telling about the 5 page scene in 15 minutes...so much of what he says can be utilized in other vocations: the drive, curiosity, discipline, humor, talent that is properly developed and handled...excellent.

he is a great actor.
