Rogers was on the show, which ran from 1972 to 1983, for just the first three of its 11 seasons on CBS, but his run and his character are especially revered by show devotees.
Rogers continued to act after leaving M*A*S*H.
Wayne Rogers, the star of the hit US TV series * a href=”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M*A*S*H_(TV_series)” *M*A*S*H, has died at the age of 82.
In the film, it was Elliott Gould that played the Trapper John character and Donald Sutherland was Hawkeye.
Rogers had initially meant to audition for the role of Hawkeye, but eventually opted to play Trapper. The actor felt that Alan Alda’s character, “Hawkeye” Pierce, was increasingly the focus of the show. He graduated from Princeton University in 1954 and, following Navy service, studied acting at New York’s Neighborhood Playhouse workshop. He had a bit part in the 1967 film “Cool Hand Luke” with Paul Newman.
Rogers returned to television, most notably as a recurring character of Murder She Wrote in the early 1990’s.
His first marriage, to actress Mitzi McWhorter, ended in divorce. He is survived by his wife, Amy, his children Laura and Bill, and four grandchildren, Alexander, Daniel, William and Anais.

Later in life, Rogers became a financial consultant and author, who appeared as a guest several times on the Fox Business Network program Cashin’ In and wrote an investment guide titled Make Your Own Rules. But Trapper John remains a favourite of M*A*S*H fans.
