Also on IMDB.com, from Jamie Farr about Alan Alda:
[Working with Alan Alda] If I wanted a sermon I’d go to church. He just wouldn’t quit. He just kept adding more speeches and more moralistic stuff. After he got famous, he got really pompous. He started thinking he was speaking God’s words - not the lines in the script, not his own personal thoughts. He thought he was speaking the words of God. I think he thought and believed that God was speaking through him. A person like that is not easy to be around.
Spare me.
Alda is why the early MASH episodes are great and the later ones suck.
Heh...Farr is still a Toledo boy...

I think Jamie Farr is actually a Republican in reality. I know he supported Bush in the past. Maybe Alan Alda’s leftism helped push Farr toward the GOP.
