Alan Alda is set to receive the SAG Life Achievement Award.

The “M*A*S*H” star is the 55th recipient of SAG-AFTRA’s highest honor. He’ll get the award in January at the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, which airs live on TNT and TBS.

The SAG Life Achievement Award is given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting profession,” per the union. Nominated and voted on by members of the SAG-AFTRA National Honors and Tributes Committee, the Life Achievement Award is given to a well-established performer who has contributed to improving the image of the acting profession and has a history of active involvement in humanitarian and public service endeavors.

“It is an honor and privilege to announce that our SAG Life Achievement Award will be presented to the fabulous Alan Alda,” said SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris. “He is an artist whose body of work is a testament to the craft and the magic of our business. His ability to make us laugh, to think and to feel is extraordinary. From theater to television, movies, and new media Alan’s dedication and talent are exceeded only by his contributions to a just and caring society.”

The SAG Awards air live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2019, at 8/7c.

Here’s what Hollywood’s biggest stars are wearing

The Screen Actors Guild Awards are honoring the best achievements in film and television acting in 2017, and the stars are dolled up as they arrive at the show. This year's show features Kristen Bell as the SAG Awards' first-ever host, and all the presenters will be women in response to the #TIMESUP and #MeToo movements, rather than the usual pairs of women and men presenting.
