      Mike Farrell describes his journeys as an actor and activist in this very readable autobiography. Some political issues...which include Central American wars...are somewhat dated while others, like the anti-capital punishment issue, are not. Those matters are informative. The acting path is described adequately. Recommended for MASH fans.
    • 4/5
      I did not realize until reading this book how much of a political activist and globe-trotting badass Mike Farrell is. Wowzers. He certainly has lived a busy and bumpy life; being on M*A*S*H has only been a small slice of it. Having said that, he'll always be BJ to me.
