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.

Sorry to hear of this. He was no nonsense on the Fox financial shows. Didn’t appear to be that old to me.
LOL!!
Aint that the truth.
He was a smart fella, in stark contrast to a lot of the Hollyweird types. RIP.
Man, that’s sad.Prayers for his family and friends.I really enjoyed watching him when on fox business.
Bon Voyage, Wayne Rogers. Rest in Peace. I hope you’re in a better place. You will be missed on Cashin’ In, where it was a real treat to see you each week.
I’m thinking yes.
Oh, darn. We lost a good one. Rest in Peace.
Agreed!
Loved his character on MASH. Never cared much for his “replacement” (Mike Farrel/BJ Hunnicut).
RIP.
Was a good man. Prayers for his family.
Well said ... agree 100%. The show wasn’t the same after he left.
LOL!
Adam Cartwright as in Pernell Roberts, a pieceoshit
libtard if there ever was one. Read his bio recently.
He thought he was too good for Bonanza. He didn’t do
diddly for a long time after he left the show..... Asshat.
oh wow someone else who read the books.....
I read them all. Some of them were hilarious.
Great post, thanks for that link. I didn’t read the initial obit posted so perhaps much of this stuff is in there too.
But this guy really did it all.
I mean, he even did this “He is Chairman of the Board of Kleinfeld, the famous wedding dress emporium in New York.”
I mean, who knew?
A true conservative. He will be missed.

Absolutely. I would have preferred that it was Alda the socialist idiot that had gone first.
Richard Hooker, the original author of the first two books, was quite the conservative, as shown more in the second book, “MASH Goes to Main”! Both of these were largely autobiographical and very well done.
The remaining books in the series, done with the co-author, Butterworth?, were just fun reads capitalizing on the movie and TV successes. I did enjoy them just as comic novels.
“It also reveals exactly how he came to be known as “Trapper Johnâ€.”
Okay, cough it up, how? Don’t leave us hanging, lol.
