Roger Bowen (May 25, 1932 - February 16, 1996) was an American actor born in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
Bowen was perhaps best known for his role as Lt. Col Henry Braymore Blake in the 1970 cult classic film M*A*S*H. He costarred in the TV sitcom Arnie, made numerous other film and television appearances, and did extensive work in TV and radio commercials. In addition to acting, Bowen enjoyed a career as a writer, penning sketches for The Second City comedy troupe (which he co-founded) and authoring several novels.
In a strange coincidence, Bowen's death came one day after that of actor McLean Stevenson, who played Col. Blake in the M*A*S*H television series. Both actors died of a heart attack.
