Populusque is compounded from the nominative noun Populus, the People, and -que, an enclitic particle meaning and which connects the two nominative nouns. The last word, RÅmÄnus (Roman) is an adjective modifying the whole of SenÄtus Populusque: the Roman Senate and People, taken as a whole.
Two other actors played Trapper in other incarnations. Elliot Gould was the same character in the âMASHâ feature film that preceded the TV show, and Pernell Roberts played the title character in the 1980s spinoff drama âTrapper John, M.D.â.
One of the favorite pastimes of characters Hawkeye Pierce and Trapper John in the MASH sitcom was tormenting Major Frank Burns, with whom the army physicians shared a tent. The MASH character Frank Burns was played by Larry Linville before he was written-off the show in 1977, according to IMDb. Linville died, sadly, of complications due to pneumonia contracted after cancer surgery in 2000. After his time working in Hollywood, Wayne Rogers became a successful money manager. The MASH Trapper John actor was said to be a common guest on the Fox News investment show Cashinâ In. Wayne Rogers received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2005.
