SPQR: SenÄtus Populusque RÅmÄnus. In Latin, SenÄtus is a nominative singular noun meaning Senate. 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.
This was not the first Korean War-based movie to carry the title MASH.. In 1953, Humphrey Bogart starred in a film also about a MASH unit by the same title. But the studio thought the title might make audiences think it was about potatoes, so the title was changed to Battle Circus (1953).
