Abrus, who had served as a military photography in the Army and ran a fashion photography business before becoming an actor, was so convincing in his role as Maj. Freedman, that co-star Alan Alda often found himself opening up to Arbus.

...Alan Alda often found himself opening up to Arbus. Alan Alda was, is and always will be an idiot. Nice to see it confirmed. RIP Mr. Arbus. I liked your character.

I always thought that could have been a good show without Alda ruining it with his snarky, preachy, leftism. He was like a feminine Rachel Maddow.

...psychiatrist Maj. Sidney FreedmanOne of the all-time great characters. Arbus was a terrific actor, and I am surprised he was as old as he was.
RIP, sir.

I suspect his SF initials were no accident...

Didn’t know he was that old.

I hear you on Alda, but the scenes between Hawkeye and Sidney in the final episode were some gut wrenching stuff.

MASH was 35-40 years ago. He did look mid-fifties when he was on.
It’s about right.

He was a great actor but his MASH character was a wet blanket.

Harry Morgan was born two years earlier than Arbus, Colonel Potter looked much older than Friedman.
