I think his most recent major role was about 10 years ago in “The West Wing”. He played Senator Alvin Vinick, the GOP nominee for President.

Like many in Hollywood, he is a good actor but also political lobotomized.

He was in a comedy that Michael Moore made about 25 years or so ago called Canadian Bacon. Alda played a beleaguered U.S. president who tries to start a war with Canada in order to deflect attention away from his own disastrous administration.

It's a hella train wreck of a movie, but it does have John Candy in his final film role.

He couldn’t come close to Mike Ferrill in terms of political stupidity.
