One funny thing about M*A*S*H and the semi-spinoff Trapper John MD was that Pernell Roberts looked nothing whatsoever like what an older Trapper John (Wayne Rogers) would have looked like, but he did actually look passably like an older B.J. Hunnicutt might have.
And B.J. Hunnicutt was actually supposed to be from San Francisco.
Although I found out years later that 'Trapper John MD' was supposed to be a sequel to the FILM of 'M*A*S*H,' not the teevee series. And for that matter, Pernell Roberts looked nothing like what an older Eliott Gould (Trapper in the movie) would have looked like either.
