Mike Farrell

Keynote Speaker: Actor, Human Rights Advocate, Environmental Activist

Mike Farrell Biography

Even before becoming a beloved favorite of American television viewers for his roles on the hit series "MAS*H" and NBC’s "Providence", Mike Farrell was dedicated to the belief that being a responsible citizen meant working for the ultimate benefit of all citizens.

The issue of human rights has long been his concern. As a spokesperson for CONCERN/America, an international aid and development organization, Farrell has won worldwide admiration for his efforts to assist Third World refugees. He has expanded his advocacy to include environmental issues, peace, children's rights, and opposing the death penalty. He serves as Co-chair Emeritus of Human Rights Watch in California and President of Death Penalty Focus, continuing his engagement with various organizations such as the ACLU, the UN, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, The Muslim Public Affairs Committee, and the United Farm Workers.

In addition to his extensive activism, Farrell is currently performing in "Dr. Keeling’s Curve," a one-man show about climate change. His informed and passionate presentations shine a light on often neglected topics including arms control, illiteracy, veterans' rights, prison reform, ex-offender rehabilitation, and animal welfare. His personal commitment extends to caregiving, having supported his mother-in-law during her battle with Alzheimer's disease and his wife, actress Shelley Fabares, through her health challenges.

Becoming Informed, Getting Involved, Making a Difference

Dr. Keeling's Curve (One Man Show)

Noted actor and activist Mike Farrell plays Dr. David Keeling, the scientist whose research on CO2 gave the world its first early warnings of global warming. In this highly acclaimed performance, Farrell brings to life the quirky and brilliant man who created the Keeling Curve, the iconic chart that illustrates the rise in atmospherice CO2 levels from 1958 to the present.

The story combines Keeling's personal journey with the insights of atmospheric scientists who, hundreds of years earlier, made discoveries that laid the foundations for Keeling's own extraordinary work. We meet Jean Joseph Baptiste Fourier whose obsession with heat led to an understanding of the greenhouse effect, and Svante Arrhenius who proved a link between global warming and CO2. The play paints very human portraits of these and other great scientists.
