Bugün öğrendim ki: Wayne Rogers M*A*S*H'den ayrıldığında, yapımcılar onu sözleşmeyi ihlal ettiği için dava etmeye çalıştı. Rogers'ın bir ahlak maddesine itiraz ederek sözleşmesini gerçekten imzalamadığını ve tüm zaman boyunca serbest oyuncu olduğunu keşfettiler.
[“M*A*S*H”](https://outsider.com/news/entertainment/mash-alan-alda-the-west- wing-similar-show/) fans lost one of the stars of the show unceremoniously when Wayne Rogers decided to leave the series after three seasons. Rogers played Trapper John, usually acting opposite of [Alan Alda's Hawkeye.](https://outsider.com/news/entertainment/mash-how-alan-alda-was-cast- as-hawkeye/) He was a big part of the show's makeup during those early seasons. So fans might have been shocked tuning into Season Four to discover Trapper John MIA The show explained John's and Roger's absence as the military having discharged the character. But behind the scenes, Rogers and the show's creator engaged in a contract dispute and even a argument, according to [The Hollywood Reporter](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wayne-rogers-dead- mash-trapper- 851675). Rogers had abruptly decided he didn't want to be on the show anymore. Initially, Rogers and Alda's characters received equal screen time and material. But over time, Rogers felt the creators had started to slight John as a character. They gave more of the weightier comic material to Hawkeye, leaving John to act as the man rolling his eyes at Hawkeye's antics. Additionally, Alda started to gain more control creatively, even directing some episodes of the show. Rogers left the show because he didn't want to play second fiddle to Alda anymore. In an effort to keep him on the show, producers sued Rogers for breaching his contract. After all, an actor can't just quit during the middle of production on a show. But it turns out Rogers had pulled a fast one on the producers.
