Wow. I'm shocked. Wasn't expecting this. I always liked him. :(

I always liked him too and he was great on M*A*S*H. R.I.P. Wayne.

R.I.P. Wayne. :(

:(

Trapper was a bit of an inconsistent character (some episodes he seemed a loving husband, others a nurse chasing womanizer), but I liked Wayne.

RIP. I liked him on MASH, but LOVED him on House Calls with Lynn Redgrave. They had a wonderful chemistry.

Shocking. :( I just saw him recently on the FNC. R.I.P. Wayne.

RIP! Wayne sure was cute.

Remember LuLu Rogers (Lauren) who use to post here? She would have Wayne in her avatar all the time.

Rest in peace Wayne.

So did I. He was a regular on Fox and a bright guy.

From Barbara Eden

I heard the news last night about the passing of my good friend Wayne Rogers. The first time I met Wayne he was appearing in my then husband Michael Ansara’s television series, “Law of the Plainsman” in 1959. From that point on we would see Wayne and his family socially.

While many of you remember him from M*A*S*H* he also co-starred with me in “I Dream of Jeannie: 15 Years Later,” when Larry was too busy with “Dallas” to return to the role. Later I had the pleasure of touring with him in the stage production of “Same Time Next Year.” It was a lot of fun and Wayne was always a delight to work with.
I have many fond memories of Wayne and send my most heartfelt condolences to his wife Amy, his children, family and friends. -Barbara

​Alan Alda pays touching tribute to "M.A.S.H." co-star Wayne Rogers


Alan Alda remembered his "M.A.S.H." co-star Wayne Rogers with a touching post on Twitter on Friday.

Rogers died Thursday in Los Angeles of complications from pneumonia at age 82.

The two starred together on the 1970s series, with Rogers portraying Trapper John McIntyre alongside Alda's Hawkeye Pierce.

Alda, 79, tweeted Friday: "He was smart, funny, curious and dedicated. We made a pact to give MASH all we had and it bonded us. I loved Wayne. I'll miss him very much."

"M.A.S.H." aired on CBS from 1972-1983, but Rogers' stint lasted from just 1972-1975. Trapper John and Hawkeye Pierce were two skilled doctors on the show who were known for pulling pranks.

Beautiful tribute. Thank you for posting this, Sonny. Nice to hear that they liked each other, despite their differences in Politics.

R.I.P. Wayne Rogers aka Trapper John.

Very sad to hear about Wayne Rogers dying, I really liked him as Trapper on M.A.S.H. And I liked him on his sitcom House Calls too. I thought he and Lynn Redgrave worked very well together. Then they replaced her with Sharon Gless. While I liked Sharon Gless on House Calls I always thought it was never as good as when Lynn Redgrave was on the show. I think Rogers and Redgrave had better chemistry together.

Ed.

RIP, Trapper, we love and miss you

Such sad news. RIP Wayne Rogers. Thoughts & Prayers go out to his family.

Not only a great actor but also a very smart person. Especially when it came to financial matters. :rip: Wayne Rogers

I recall them making IBM episodes together about 20 years ago so it's good to hear they reconciled even though Mr. Rogers parted company from the show itself on strained terms to say the least.

The last thing I saw Wayne Rogers in was some CNN money show where he was a panelist about something (forget) and Wayne just blew his top I think at a female commentator about something and it was sort of funny and pathetic at the same time. He could be found on YouTube somewhere.

Wayne Rogers having come from Alabama did sometimes give him more touches of Duke, who was from the Deep South also, rather than Trapper, who (I think) was from around Boston.

This is why I (and others) had the theory that the television version of Trapper John was a combination of both T.J. and Duke.
