Recently spotted in Los Angeles, 85-year-old Mike Farrell—famous for playing B.J. Hunnicutt on MASH*—was seen doing yard work and taking out the trash, looking lively in a “Make America Normal Again” cap. His casual look recalled his varied career beyond MASH*, including roles in Murder, She Wrote and Desperate Housewives.

Farrell joined MASH* in its fourth season, quickly becoming a fan favorite alongside Alan Alda and Loretta Swit. The show’s success, tackling themes of war, friendship, and humanity, helped cement his place in TV history.

Beyond acting, Farrell found success directing films like Patch Adams and voicing roles in series like Justice League. He also served as Vice President of the Screen Actors Guild and remains an outspoken activist for human rights and animal welfare.

Married to actress Shelley Fabares after his first marriage, Farrell’s stable personal life mirrors his professional integrity and lifelong commitment to making a difference.
