Wayne Rogers Dies: ‘M.A.S.H.’s Trapper John Was 82
by Ross A. Lincoln

Actor and entrepreneur Wayne Rogers, best known for playing Captain
“Trapper” John McIntyre from 1972-1975 on the long-running CBS dramedy
M.A.S.H. has died today following complications from pneumonia. His
publicist confirmed the news to Deadline: he was 82.

[Adam H. Kerman]

He wasn't the greatest actor, but he could be funny. I actually liked
City of Angels, but no one watched it.

He had decent chemistry with Lynn Redgrave on House Calls, a show that
should have been a hell of a lot better.

Ah. There was one other viewer. What was Ian's excuse for not watching?

I thought making Amos a gruff old doctor but sympathetic and competent
when recast with David Wayne (yeah, different last name than the Amos
played by Art Carney in the movie) hurt. There just wasn't any point
to the character. I thought Dr. Solomon as Frank Burns lite was an awful
character.

Hm. I didn't remember why Lynn Redgrave left the show, but it was awful
without her. IMDb sez

Lynn Redgrave left [House Calls] in 1981 in a very public
dispute with Universal Television. The studio claimed that the
dispute related to her salary, while Redgrave claimed that the
studio refused to allow her to breast feed her newborn daughter
in between takes on the set. Redgrave sued the studio, but lost
when the litigation was dismissed thirteen years later.

and

In 1981, [Lynn] Redgrave was fired from a show called 'House Calls'
and Universal Studios released a statement saying that Redgrave
had left the CBS series because the studio wouldn't meet her salary
demands. However, Redgrave told a very different story via People
Magazine and asserted she was forced off the TV show because she
wanted to breast-feed her 5-week-old daughter on set. Universal
denied this claim, but a phone call transcript recorded Pete
Terranova, who was a negotiator for Universal at the time, saying
that the breast feeding "is the biggest problem of all for us.".

I recall that Redgrave was barely on the show when pregnant, just had
brief scenes and she and Rogers didn't do much, I assume toward the
end of the pregnancy.

The usual, he was feeling listless.

Very sad to hear, and more so on the last day of the year.
He also was for many years on the Fox Business cable show, "Cashin In."
They showed a retrospective on Wayne's life counting his M*A*S*H years,
earlier today.

R.I.P., Wayne Rogers, 82 (Apr. 7, 1933 Birminham, AL - Dec. 31, 2015 Los
Angeles, CA)

I never met the man in person. But, sure I
would have liked him. Best wishes in the
great waiting room in the sky.

What do you have against Rogers? I've seen plenty of depictions of Hell
as a great waiting room or a line one waits in, waiting for nothing at all.

IIRC, the "great waiting room in the sky"
is a quote from MASH.

What do you have against Stormin Mormon?
You took a friendly and polite quote and
turned it into some thing evil.

Yep, I believe it was a quote from the eulogy Hawkeye delivered in
honor of the great late Cpt. Jonathan Tuttle - the greatest man 4077th
had. :)

Ah, thank you.

Just bein' a wise ass.

Nevertheless, waiting rooms at doctors' offices are indeed evil.

Then that wasn't Hawkeye, "the greatest man the 4077th had"?

Last night MeTV ran the episode where Susan St. James plays a well known
and respected reporter, and "BJ" is smitten with her. I think it was the
Mike Farrell era. And Hawkeye does his best to intrude into the
situation.

Given the recent talk about how Wayne Rogers leaving the show because he
was second fiddle to Alan Alda, it was fun to watch the reverse happen.
Or rather, it seemed more like a metaphor of how Alan Alda saw the show,
he needed to be top dog.
