Loinaz / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Alexis L. Loinaz / People Contributor Jan 1, 2016 3:45 PM UTC Wayne Rogers, the actor most famous for his role as Trapper John on the TV adaptation of_M.A.S.H._, has died. He was 82. According to [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wayne-rogers-dead-mash-trapper-851675), Rogers’ former publicist confirmed that the actor died from complications from pneumonia. Rogers played the memorable doctor Trapper John for three years, from 1972-1975, on the hit TV series, which was adapted from the acclaimed film by Robert Altman. His career spanned both film and TV, and he subsequently appeared in _Cool Hand Luke_, _Ghosts of Mississippi_ and _Murder, She Wrote_. The Birmingham, Alabama, native graduated from Princeton with a history degree, later enlisting in the Navy before eventually kick-starting a career as an actor. Although he appeared early on in TV shows like _Gunsmoke_ and _The Fugitive_, it was his role as Trapper John on _M.A.S.H._ that would score him widespread acclaim. He would subsequently leave the series, though, after reportedly becoming dissatisfied with his character’s dwindling significance, as Alan Alda’s Hawkeye soon claimed the spotlight. Rogers found renewed success later in life as an investor and entrepreneur, writing the book _Make Your Own Rules_ and appearing as a contributor on the Fox News channel business show _Cashin’ In_. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Amy Hirsh, [Deadline reports](http://deadline.com/2015/12/m-a-s-h-actor-wayne-rogers-dies-at-82-1201674635/).
