This guy is the BEST tv star ever

Great interview , Alan is one of the good guys of TV...

[tuxguys]

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...)

To be honestly, I only really know Alan Alda from his work on MASH, though I love his work on that show, in terms of acting, writing, and directing. I have been watching The West Wing recently, though haven't gotten to his part.

Anyway, this was a great interview. It did a great job of showing just who he is, as a person and an actor, and I've gained a great deal of respect for him just by watching this. Thanks a lot for posting this.

I listened to this interview (all six parts) as I was working this afternoon/evening and I really enjoyed it. It was interesting to hear about Alan Alda's early days as an actor as well as learn more about his days on M*A*S*H - thank you for taking the time out to do the interview and to share it with us.
