Wayne Rogers, who starred as the beloved Trapper John McIntyre on "M.A.S.H." died Thursday, December 31, 2015 from complications of pneumonia. He was 82.

Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Rogers graduated from Princeton in 1954 with a degree in history. He turned to acting after serving in the Navy, co-starring in “Stagecoach West” from 1960-61.

But he's best known for his iconic turn as army surgeon Trapper John on "M.A.S.H.," one of the most popular TV series in history. His character’s wisecracks and hijinks with his on-air partner-in-crime, Alan Alda’s Hawkeye Pierce, landed him deep in the affections of the show’s fans, despite the fact that Rogers only appeared in the first three of the show’s 11 seasons.

Rogers remained a television fixture into the early 1990s, appearing in numerous shows, such as his recurring role on "Murder, She Wrote." He also turned an interest in finance he developed during his MASH years into a lucrative later career as a money manager and investor. In August 2006, Rogers was elected to the Board of Directors of Vishay Intertechnology, Inc and served as the head of Wayne Rogers & Co, a stock trading and investment company. He also appeared regularly as a panel member on the Fox News stock investment program, “Cashin' In.”

Gender expression non-conformist David Bowie passed away at his home in the company of family on Sunday, January 10, 2016. His death followed an 18-month battle with cancer. His latest album, _Blackstar_, was just released on Friday, his birthday.*

His stage persona Ziggy Stardust definitely influenced me as a young queer person. David Bowie, you will be so missed, and you will leave a hole in the world.

Jeanne and I met when we were both "baby butches." There were not too many Butch Mexican American activist back then in Los Angeles or anywhere for that matter. (I digress.) We did not always agree but I had and still have much respect for her. RIP Jeanne and thank you for all you did for our community.

The character actor is best known for playing Commandant Eric Lassard in all seven Police Academy films, as well as the grouchy foster parent Henry Warnimont on the 1980s sitcom Punky Brewster.

Gaynes also starred opposite Dustin Hoffman in the 1982 film Tootsie, which received 10 Academy Award nominations, although only Jessica Lange won for best supporting actress.

Gaynes’ other film credits include The Way We Were, Altered States and Wag the Dog. He appeared in hundreds of episodes on television shows, including The Defenders, Mission: Impossible, Bonanza, The Six Million Dollar Man and Hawaii Five-0, as well as the daytime soap opera General Hospital.

He was 98.
