Alda played Hawkeye Pierce on the classic television series "M*A*S*H," and wrote and directed many of the episodes. His 33 Emmy nominations include performances in 2009 for "30 Rock," in 2006 for "The West Wing" (winning his 6th Emmy), and in 1999 for "ER." In 1994 he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame. He hosted the award winning series "Scientific American Frontiers" on PBS for eleven years, interviewing leading scientists from around the world. In January 2010, he hosted the PBS series "The Human Spark," in which he interviewed dozens of scientists, searching for answers to the question: What is it that makes us human?
Other television performances include Truman Capote's "The Glass House" and "Kill Me If You Can," for which he received an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of Caryl Chessman, an inmate who spent 12 years on death row.
On Broadway, Adla has appeared as the physicist Richard Feynman in the play "QED." He starred in the first American production of the international hit play "Art."

His first memoir "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, and Other Things I've Learned" became a New York Times bestseller, as did his second: "Things I Overheard While Talking to Myself."
