Even before becoming a beloved favorite of American television viewers for his roles on the hit series M.A.S.H. and NBC’s Providence, Mike Farrell was dedicated to the belief that being a responsible citizen meant working for the ultimate benefit of all citizens.

The issue of human rights has long been his concern. As spokesperson for CONCERN/America, an international aid and development organization, Farrell has won worldwide admiration for his efforts to assist Third World refugees. In concert with the United Nations and Amnesty International, he has circled the globe to bring support and comfort to the dispossessed.

He has also been actively involved with a host of other issues, including the American Civil Liberties Union, the American Indian Movement, the United Farm Workers Union and Greenpeace. He currently serves as co-chair of Human Rights Watch in California and advisor to the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty.

His informed and passionate presentations shine a light on such often neglected topics as arms control, illiteracy, veterans' rights, prison reform, ex-offender rehabilitation and animal welfare.
