On tour and stock he has done dozens of other shows and in recent years has appeared in FOLLIES, 1776 and THE SUNSHINE BOYS. Mr . Alda achieved motion picture fame as the sensitive George Gerswin in RHAPS ODY IN BLUE and subsequently starred in such films as NORA PREN­ TISS, TWO GUYS AND A GAL, MR. UNIV ERSE, HOMICIDE, APRIL SHOWERS and IMITATION OF LIFE among others. He also starred in several Italian films and was awarded the Golden Wing Award, Italy's top theatrical honor for his performance in the musical LA PADRONA DI RAGGIO DI LUNA. Most recent films include I WILL I WILL, FOR NOW, THE HOUSE OF EXORCISM and BITTER SWEET LOVE now in release. Mr. Alda's career has encompassed every phase of the entertainment world. He has starred in television, having appeared on practically all the top dramatic shows-POLICE STORY, KOJAK, INVISIBLE MAN, ELLERY QUEEN, NAME OF THE GAME, QUINCY, as well as the variety and talk shows and comedy such as LUCY SHOW, RHODA, PHYLLIS, THE TONY RANDALL SHOW and M 0''A'°'S0~H with his son Alan.

Antony Alda ( Detective Sergeant Trotter) is the third generation of Alda's. Robert Alda and his sons Alan and Antony , though separated by a generation each, have no "generation gap". Antony started his career at the tender age of 9, doing the pilot film for THREE CO INS IN THE FOUNTAIN and was so good ~s the young Italian boy that Walt Disney Studios cast him in two one-hour flims as another Italian boy. After 'that, he had to convince directors that he could speak without an accent for a guest starring role in a segment of DANIEL BOONE . Work took the Alda family to Rome and Antony went to high school there and majored in Drama and English. Following high school, Antony was able to continue his training with Rome's English speaking Theatre appearing in productions of ROOM SERVICE, THE CAINE MUTINY and ROSENCRANTZ AND GUIL­ DENSTERN . He returned to New York and studied music theory and composition at the Juilliard School of Music for the next two years. He has just completed his first album in which he composed music and lyrics, played all five instrument s as well as sing the songs and is now shopping for a label. Recently, he has done guest appearances on SWITCH , A YEAR AT THE TOP, and a movie of the week for CBS, THE :BLACKJACK HIJACK.
