Elliott Gould

Elliott Gould (born August 29, 1938), born Elliott Goldstein, was one of the most prominent American film actors in the early '70s, best known for playing Trapper John in the satirical 1970 film M*A*S*H. Time magazine put him on its cover in 1970, when he was at the brief height of his long career, calling him a "star for an uptight age."

Other notable film roles include Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, The Long Goodbye, A Bridge Too Far and, most recently, Ocean's Eleven. He hosted Saturday Night Live six times through the 1980 season premiere, although he has not done so since. Also in 1980, Gould filmed two movies for Walt Disney studios The Last Flight Of Noah's Ark and The Devil And Max Devlin, in this he co-starred with Bill Cosby.

His career slowed down after a series of critical and commercial flops in the 1980s, but he has remained steadily employed in supporting and character roles in television and movies, including a recurring guest role on Friends.

He was married to Barbra Streisand from 1963 to 1971. They have one son,
