Tina Fey Shares Story Behind Alan Alda Cameo in Four Seasons Netflix

“The Four Seasons” is a classic movie from 1981 that has now been adapted for a new Netflix series. Alan Alda, who wrote, directed, and starred in the original film, makes a special appearance in the show, thanks to Tina Fey. In the second episode, he plays the widowed father of Anne, offering some sage advice to her friends, Kate and Danny.

Tina Fey, along with Tracey Wigfield and Lang Fisher, wanted to pay tribute to Alda by bringing him on board. Initially, Fey toyed with the idea of having Alda reprise his original role in the show, but eventually settled on casting him as Anne’s dad. It was a delightful experience for Fey to work with Alda again, as she had previously collaborated with him on “30 Rock.”

Despite his age, Alda, who is 89 years old, brought his A-game to the set. He delivered his lines with precision and wit, showcasing his incredible talent and impeccable timing. Starring alongside big names like Steve Carell and Fey, Alda’s cameo was a memorable addition to the series.

For fans of the original movie or those new to “The Four Seasons,” Alda’s appearance adds an extra layer of nostalgia and charm to the Netflix adaptation. It’s always a treat to see a seasoned actor like Alda bring his magic to the screen, and his contribution to the show remains one of its highlights.
