Actor Wayne Rogers died on Thursday from complications from pneumonia, his rep exclusively tells ET. He was 82 years old.

Rogers, who hailed from Alabama, is best known for playing the role of Captain "Trapper" John McIntyre in the classic television series M*A*S*H from 1972-1975. He also had recurring roles in City of Angels, House Calls, and Murder, She Wrote.

Oh, too bad. I don’t remember him in other roles, particularly.

In his old age, he looked a lot like old George H.W. Bush.

His character on the TV show was more of a sidekick to Alda’s.

In the book by Richard Hooker (I must be one of the few that actually read it-and I’ve also read most of the sequels-they pretty much suck after ‘MASH Goes To Maine’), Trapper John has a much, much bigger role than was portrayed on TV. It also reveals exactly how he came to be known as “Trapper John”.

“Stagecoach West”. Played the character Luke Perry, which seems funny now.

Darla lived a couple of blocks over from where my ex wife grew up. Small world and all that.

Wayne was a good balance for Alda. When he left, the balance was gone and the show became purely liberal leaning.

Got that right. When he left M*A*S*H and when Alda took over the entire show...well...it really sucked.

RIP Wayne aka Trapper John. Condolences to his family.
Not counting his financial world and his business show on Fox, he has a huge resume going back to the 50’s.
