He was always a left wing douchenozzle, but he kept it subtle during MASH. After that he teamed up with guys like Woody Allan and Michael Moore and went "all in" on the nerd / douche / liberal thing.

It was the characters that he got to play. He could not be cool with all his characters he played.

Now he’s old and can only stomach M*A*S*H*ed potatos.

he must have auditioned for, and won, the nerdy roles - or being asked to play them.

He's an actor. He acts the part and follows direction. MASH was a brilliant part for him to play. Actors don't always get such good offers.
