As Time Goes By
During one of the episodes, the cast buried a time capsule at the ranch. After the episode, which was called “As Time Goes By”, the land they filmed on was sold a couple of months later. A construction worker had discovered the buried time capsule and had contacted Alan Alda to ask him what he should do with it. Alda told him to keep it, a fact that did not seem to impress the worker in the least.
Robert Klein
Robert Klein was very set on what he wanted to accomplish in his career. As is the norm in Hollywood, many actors get offered roles that are turned down, and then the role turns out to be a massive success. This fact does not mean that the actors who turned down the role were foolish. Klein turned down the role of Trapper John when it was offered to him. He chose to focus on his comedic goals, specifically stand-up.
