You're Right! Good-natured leading man who in the late 1970s was everyone's ideal of the "sensitive male." The son of actor Robert Alda, his early work was primarily on stage, with occasional forays into TV, notably as a semiregular on "That Was the Week That Was" (1964-65). His first noteworthy film role was as author George Plimpton in Pa per Lion (1968), and he was a surprisingly credible hillbilly in 1970's The Moonshine War Then in 1972, he was cast as Hawkeye in the TV series version of "M*A*S*H," and though it was almost canceled that first season, it went on for 11 years, and won Alda four Emmys in the process: two for acting, one each for writing and directing. Hawkeye was the main character of M*A*S*H. Not much is known about him before he came to Korea except that he was very close to his father and lived in Crabapple, Maine. In the movie he has a wife and two sons and in the show he is a bachelor. He is very good friends with Trapper and knew him before the war. He was also good friends with BJ. He went to Androscoggin college and played foootball. He was a dedicated surgeon, prankster, and nurse chaser. He loved Martinis and he was always helping people.
