I didn't like his character in M*A*S*H at all, but I liked Wayne Rogers as a person and learned from his investment advice on FOX.
I did like his replacement character on M*A*S*H, B.J. Honeycutt, but hate the actor that portrayed him who I will not name here. Perhaps this is an example of "playing against type".
Rest in Peace Wayne Rogers!
