He took over the role from Elliott Gould in the movie, and then was succeeded by Adam Cartwright for “Trapper John, M.D.”

RIP Trapper.

Why is there no mention of him guesting on the weekend Fox Business News program? He was awesome.

I thought I saw him recently on a Saturday morning show. He seemed like a smart, nice guy. Not too many Hollywood folks you can say that about.

He was a very convincing villain in a Cannon episode titled Call Unicorn.

I followed him and I guess it was in kind. Rarely use Twitter though. I guess I can free up a slot.

Watched "Cool Hand Luke" the other day and spotted Wayne Rogers in the road gang with George Kennedy.

Was great in Mash.

RIP Trapper

Jose Bautista follows me for some reason and I’m not even a Blue Jays fan. I do follow several Tigers and former Tiger players. Torii Hunter follows me but we’ve actually interacted.

Way before MASH, he had a regular role on the b&w western series “Stagecoach West,” co-starring with Robert Bray, who later became Ranger Corey on “Lassie.” Not a bad little western.
