My Take
For me, Mike Farrell embodies an actor whose craft and conscience run on the same straight line. His Captain B.J. Hunnicutt on M*A*S*H paired warmth with intelligence in a way fans still quote, but what I respect most is how he refused to coast on fame and threw himself into human rights work, earning the 1993 Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota and still speaking out past eighty, he carries a moral steadiness that commands attention. His producing eye on Patch Adams shows real taste too. I hold this kind of principled, grown-up artist in the highest regard.
