Here are some other random Alan Alda facts:

Born Alphonso Joseph D'Abruzzo on January 28, 1936! Happy Birthday Alan!!

Is the only person to win an Emmy for acting, writing, and directing.

Was the only actor to appear in every episode of "M*A*S*H".

His father appeared in The Consultant; his father and step brother appeared in Lend A Hand.

He commuted from LA to his home in New Jersey every weekend for 11 years while starring in "M*A*S*H". His wife and daughters lived in NJ, and he did not want to uproot the family to LA, especially because he did not know how long the show would last.

Continuing from tdf4077's facts :

He had a schizophrenic mother

He took odd jobs while looking for work, including a clown who jumped in front of a gas station, a taxi cab driver, and even betting on and researching patterns for race hounds/horses (I can't remember which)

His wife Arlene is a professional clarinetist who was preforming when they met (the song she played when they met was the instramental played at the end of GFA

I also heard he used shoe polish in his hair to keep it dark as he aged, but I can't find that substantiated anywhere.

I've never heard that one before..and you could tell where his hair was starting to turn white/silver in the later years of MASH
