Wayne Rogers

An affable leading man with a knack for both comedy and drama, actor Wayne Rogers played "Trapper John" McIntyre for three years on the acclaimed CBS television series "M*A*S*H" (1972-1983), before departing the show in a cloud of controversy. Unlike many of the "M*A*S*H" actors who quit the show prior to its final episode, Rogers managed to land another substantial leading role, in the romantic sitcom "House Calls" (CBS 1979-1982) opposite Lynn Redgrave. Moving away from performing, Rogers found considerable success in the financial field as a stock analyst and investor. Wayne Rogers died of complications from pneumonia on December 31, 2015 in Los Angeles. He was 82.
