My Take

Wayne Rogers fascinates me because the resume keeps surprising you. A Princeton man and a former naval officer who then played Trapper John on M*A*S*H, he brought a lived-in authority to that surgeon that no amount of acting class could fake. What I respect even more is that he refused to be just an actor: he became a savvy investor, a producer, and a writer, building a second life on his own judgment. Earning a star on the Walk of Fame almost feels like a footnote to a man who clearly insisted on thinking for himself, on screen and off.

Overview
