I just remembered that Wayne Rogers left that show first, and then his acting career tanked. At least he got into investing and became successful there.
Another actor who left a popular show and disappeared was Pernell Roberts, who left Bonanza. He eventually returned as Trapper John, the character that Wayne Rogers left behind in MASH.
