The producers of Trapper John (1979) approached Wayne Rogers to play the title role in their new spin-off. He declined. If he had, the producers of Trapper John would have most certainly had to pay royalties to their parent show MASH. When they were sued by Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart and the MASH team, they successfully argued that Trapper John was a spinoff of the MASH movie and the book, not necessarily the tv show. They would have had a hard time making that argument if Wayne Rogers had been hired to play Trapper.
