Alda received the Academy Award® nomination (and a BAFTA Award nomination) for Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator, the Emmy nomination (and a Screen Actors’ Guild nomination) came from his portrayal of Arnold Vinick, the Republican candidate for the presidency in NBC’s hit series The West Wing, and the Tony nomination was for his performance in the Broadway revival of David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross.  That same year, Alda’s memoir, entitled Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, and Other Things I’ve Learned, became a best seller.

Alda has also earned international recognition as an actor, writer and director. His performance in Woody Allen's Crimes and Misdemeanors earned him the D.W.

His other appearances on Broadway include The Owl and the Pussycat, Purlie Victorious and Fair Game for Lovers, for which he received a Theatre World Award.

On television Alda hosted the award winning PBS series Scientific American Frontiers for eleven years, interviewing leading scientists from around the world.
