Hold the phone, there. Farrell knows a few things about war: he was a *MASH* cast member.
This qualifies. Sally Field testified before con-gress because she played a farm wife.
When Farrell joined "MASH" the show jumped the shark. He was simply NOT FUNNY! The scripts descended into maudlin activism. Alda and Farrell became everyone's consciense (gag me!)and patriotism was held out to ridicule.
