RIP Wayne Rogers

Wayne_Rogers LOS ANGELES – Wayne Rogers, who portrayed wisecracking Army surgeon “Trapper John” McIntyre in the first three seasons of TV’s “M*A*S*H,” and who later became a respected financial analyst, died Dec. 31. He was 82.

MSTies will recall he was at the center of conversation in a host segment in episode 410- HERCULES AGAINST THE MOON MEN when Joel and the bots discussed what Crow called “the Wayne Rogers syndrome.”

Reuters has a nice obit.

    Never seen the TV series, only the movie. I have seen a few movies in which Wayne Rogers starred (e.g., Ghosts of Mississippi).

    This deeply saddens me. M*A*S*H was my 2nd favorite show behind mst. The comedic chemistry between Rogers and Alda was truly something to behold. RIP Trap.
