Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Wayne Rogers. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Actor Pernell Roberts, who shocked Hollywood by leaving the TV Western Bonanza at the height of its popularity, then found fame again years later on Trapper John, MD, has died aged 81.
He really did a great job with the Trapper John character. He was funnier than than the character that preceeded him. He was funnier than Alan Alda was, and probably even a better actor, not to take away from Alda or any other charcter on that TV series. I think he was way underused after he left Mash, even if he was a type cast, he still could have been great in other shows. He still was good hosting the Mash Marathon today, and he is a much older man now. The character was very likeable, some of it was from the writers but mostly from the way he played the character.
