Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist

Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist - Mike Farrell When I asked for this for Christmas, I wasn't expecting much more than a standard fluffy Hollywood autobiography. That'll serve me right for not realizing Mike Farrell is such a man of substance.

Of course in one way I was disappointed not to have more anecdotes from the set of MASH, but Farrell's life, and the causes he has been involved with, have been way more interesting than those of most actors. And since he's on the side of the angels politically (in my view, anyway), it was not just an informative, but an inspiring, read - good to see someone using that rather peculiar influence that mass media stars have to nudge the world (and particularly the US) into slightly better paths.

Hard to believe he's in his seventies. Good luck to him - he most certainly deserves it.
