In stark but riveting language, he relates his formative years as a Marine recruit, confused, conflicted, and eager to prove himself as a man. </p> <p> <br>Farrell humorously portrays his professional development from a young soap opera player on <em>Days of Our Lives</em> to the amiable star of two popular television series, <em>M*A*S*H</em> and <em>Providence,</em> to the respected producer of successful motion pictures like <em>Dominick and Eugene</em> and <em>Patch Adams. </em></p> <p> <em> </em> <br>At the heart of his story, Farrell narrates his public struggle to be a responsible citizen of the world. From his firsthand accounts of the ravages of war and oppression in Cambodia, El Salvador, Somalia, Bosnia, Rwanda, and the Gaza Strip, to his tireless advocacy against capital punishment, to his deep commitment to environmental causes, Farrell portrays each of these experiences with passion, outrage, and stubborn optimism.</p> 358948 2007 Just Call Me Mike: A Journey to Actor and Activist total:23|5:5|4:9|3:5|2:4| 23 84 48 8 4 0 false false Tue Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jan 04 23:18:43 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 04 23:22:37 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat May 10 20:44:13 -0700 2008 Sat May 10 20:51:33 -0700 2008
