more Wayne Rogers (Captain John "Trapper John" McIntyre)Trapper John was Hawkeye's adorable and fun-loving sidekick on the first three seasons of "M*A*S*H." After reportedly tiring of playing second fiddle, Wayne Rogers left the show and moved on to other TV series, such as "City of Angels," "House Calls," and "Murder, She Wrote."
Rogers also made a few movies in the '80s and '90s, including "The Gig," "The Killing Time," and "Ghosts of Mississippi," but he increasingly relied on his business skills as he moved away from working as an actor. He excelled in various business
ventures, including a restaurant, a production company, a string of convenience stores, and even a financial institution called Plaza Bank of Commerce.
When he bought the failing Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City, he turned it around and made the business the center of TLC's series "Say Yes to the Dress." Rogers also owns a financial strategy firm, Wayne Rogers & Co. His interests and expertise in the investing world led him to become a regular contributor to the Fox Business Network and a panelist on its news show "Cashin' In," hosted by Cheryl Casone.
In 2011 he wrote a
book called "Make Your Own Rules: A Renegade Guide to Unconventional Success," in which he shares his unorthodox approach to business. In April 2012, he became the spokesperson for Senior Home Loans, a reverse mortgage lender.
