Alan Alda\u2019s career really kicked off in the 50s, when he started out in various improv comedy troupes. His first was in the Compass Players, and then Chicago\u2019s legendary Second City troupe, which remains a cultural touchstone to this day.<\/p>\n

Due to the immense strength of his talents, he then got a Ford Foundation grant to become part of the Cleveland Play House\u2019s regular company of actors in 1958. While a member, he appeared in various plays such as Job, Heaven Come Wednesday, <\/em>and To Dorothy a Son<\/em>.<\/p>\n

That same year, he made his television debut on the popular sitcom, The Phil Silvers Show<\/em>, later known as Sergeant Bilko<\/em> due to its beloved lead character. His role was Carlyle Thompson III on one episode.<\/p>\n

He debuted on Broadway in 1964, starring as Felix the Owl in a Bill Manhoff play called The Owl and the Pussycat<\/em>. His next, even bigger Broadway show was The Apple Tree<\/em> in 1966. Starring opposite Barbara Harris, he nabbed a Tony Award nomination for Best Actor in a Musical.<\/p>\n

This rather unusual musical is composed of three short stories. The first act is the story of Adam and Eve, the second a twist on the classic short story, The Lady or the Tiger?<\/em> by Frank R. Stockton, and the third a twist on Cinderella<\/em>. Alda and Harris each played a different role in each act.<\/p>\n

Alan Alda got his first regular TV gig in 1964, on an American remake of the British satire show, That Was the Week That Was,<\/em> which made fun of the news of the week and other topical issues. This show would pair him with legendary figures such as Henry Morgan, the journalist and comedian David Frost, and Buck Henry, co-creator of Get Smart with Mel Brooks. It lasted only one season.<\/p>\n

From that point on, Alan Alda spent the next bunch of years mainly as a screen actor. In 1963, appeared in Gone Are The Days!<\/em>, which was based on Purlie Victorious<\/em>, a successful play from Broadway. In 1968, he starred in Paper Lion<\/em>, a film based on the true story of when American sports journalist George Plimpton went undercover as a quarterback for an article in Sports Illustrated<\/em>.<\/p>\n

He followed this in 1969 with the role of Lt. Morton Krim in The Extraordinary Seaman<\/em> and the role of Myles Clarkson in 1971\u2019s The Mephisto Waltz<\/em>, a supernatural thriller. He also made frequent appearances on various television game shows at the time, such as I\u2019ve Got a Secret <\/em>and What\u2019s My Line?<\/em><\/p>\n

Alan Alda then stretched his writing muscles for Free to Be\u2026You and Me<\/em>, a highly lauded television special produced by and starring Marlo Thomas. He wrote a number of poems and stories featured in this groundbreaking show that advocated for revoking gender stereotypes.<\/p>\n

Alan Alda\u2019s biggest break, however, came in 1972, when Alda was cast as Captain Benjamin Franklin \u201cHawkeye\u201d Pierce in the legendary television show, M*A*S*H<\/em>, based on the hugely successful smash hit film of the same name from 1970. The show, about a mobile army hospital in the Korean War, ran for 11 seasons, 8 years more than the actual war itself!<\/p>\n
