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.

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.
