RIP Wayne Rogers

[jframe]

Just saw where he passed. Didn't realize he was 82 years old. Always loved M*A*S*H as a kid, especially the early shows with him playing Trapper John. Never knew until a few years ago that he was also pretty much a financial wizard. He'll be missed.

I hate hearing that. I had been aware of his absence on "Fox Business". He was a reason I watched it. Smart and funny.

 

[DWalt]

I think he was heavy into real estate dealings, and had been ever since he left MASH.

 

[Ozark Marine]

I remember him saying on FBN he had wedding gown stores. Good guy.

 

[CustomChevyGuy]

sad to lose another member of the M*A*S*H cast. It's been one of my favorite shows since I was a kid. Even got the boxed DVD set as a Christmas gift a few years back.

May God bless his family and friends in their time of loss.

MASH, while cutting edge TV, was never as good after he left.

Great show, great actor, funny guy

We didn't realize he was that old. He was 40ish when he did
M.A.S.H. and he did it '72-'75 and that was FORTY years ago.

Saw him as a young pup, on Zane Grey Theater, two or three days ago.
He played a up and want-a-be gun slinger.

Good actor.

M.A.S.H. went downhill pretty fast after Trapper and Henry left

 

[TeaDub]

Sad news. He gave me many laughs in my younger days. He will be missed. RIP.

I liked him on the Fox financial shows, always showed a dry wit. As for M.A.S.H. well yes it was a better show during his era but I just never really got into M.A.S.H. I remember seeing him on some 60s T.V. shows. Always seemed like a nice guy when interviewed.

R.I.P.

RIP Wayne.
My Buddy Milt talked to him on the phone when Milt was writing story lines for the TV show.
Milt often spent the night with the real 4077MASH during the Korean 'Police Action.'

The character "Trapper John" was based on Dr. John Lyday, a surgeon in my hometown (Greensboro, NC). His family attended my church.

Did not know that! Grew up in Winston-Salem. RIP Trapper John.

RIP Trapper, yet another reminder that none of us are getting any younger.

Rest in Peace trapper. God how I loved his funny laugh. He'd go wide-eyed and laugh very loud. I especially love that episode where he and Hawkeye, stole Henrys desk.
