Elliot Gould

Nice article about the man.

Interesting:

"That easygoing quality is perhaps best showcased in the films Mr. Gould made with Mr. Altman. The partnership did not begin smoothly. Mr. Gould and his “MASH” co-star Donald Sutherland found Mr. Altman’s improvisatory method off-putting and wanted him fired. “Sutherland and I both took ourselves a little too seriously,” Mr. Gould said. “But luckily I came around. Bob opened everything up for me.”"

Hat tip, Mel.
