  Alan Alda reluctantly accepted the role he is most famous for—Army surgeon Hawkeye Pierce on the hit TV series "M*A*S*H." Alda worried that the show would make light of war by featuring it as a backdrop to comedy. Alda is the only "M*A*S*H" cast member to appear in every episode of the series, which ran from 1972 to 1983. Here are some highlights of Alda's life.

  Alda was born on Jan. 28, 1936, in New York City.

  As a child, Alda was stricken with polio and at one point was able to move only his left arm. A treatment regimen of applying hot blankets to his limbs and stretching his muscles helped Alda recover from the disease.

  Despite never taking an acting class, Alda has received numerous award nominations, including Oscar, Emmy and Tony.

  Alda once played Sky Masterson in "Guys and Dolls"—a signature role of his actor father, Robert Alda.
