@@allan9603I don't know what Washington thought of his role or what kind of cast member he was, but he was in all 24 episodes of the sixth season, the only season in which he was part of the cast.
The thing that I always figured was most remarkable about Hogan's Heroes was that it went on the air only 16 years after the end of WWII. A very large percentage of the audience surely remembered the horrors of the war and a large percentage had to be veterans.
Ivan Dixon was also a director for The Walton's for some of them. Bob Crane was also a good drummer and showed off his talents a few times on talk shows!
There is even one episode of Hogan's Heroes where Bob Crane did a short drumming segment, as part of a scripted "skit" to entertain Colonel Klink, General Burkhalter, and other High-Ranking German officers.
John Banner and Werner Klemperer also starred in the movie Operation Eichmann with Klemperer playing the lead role as Adolph Eichmann and Banner playing the head of Auschwitz or Burkenwald
I loved all of the actors! I didn’t know about Robert Clary’s holocaust days! Hogans hero was a great show and the fact that some of the people actually had families or themselves surviving that tragic event is amazing that they could find humor in it.
@@FactsVerse They were truly too many episodes that were highly favored by my family, but I was kind of wondering why Larry Hovis was never mentioned in this video. He was a great part of the cast as well. He played Sergeant Andrew Carter, remember?
You really should UA-cam some of the hogans heroes shows. They were absolutely hilarious and knowing their background stories makes some of the episodes even more poignant for me.
What I find interesting is that Werner Klemperer, John Banner and the actor who played Major Hochstedder all came from Jewish backgrounds as did Robert Clary and yet they took on the roles of Germans on Hogans Heroes. I remember some years ago the actor who played Gestapo Major Hochstedder had said that he didn't mind playing the Gestapo major as long as audiences enjoyed seeing him lose to Hogan and his men. He also had a role in Judgement At Nuremberg. Richard Dawson also played the role of a game show host in the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie The Running Man in which he played the villain in the movie.
Leon Askin* (General Burkhalter) is not covered, here. (He, too, was Jewish: suffering personally from the atrocities of Hitler's Nazi regime, having received a beating from the SS because he was Jewish.) >>> The slash (scar) on Leon's face was attributable to that beating and can be seen in episodes where Burkhalter's face was filmed close up. Askin had a long and illustrious career in acting: both in the old country and in the U.S. He died in 2005 at age 97. *Leon Askin was born Leo Aschkenasy, in Austria.
While none of the original cast members of Hogan's Heroes are still alive, there is still one surviving cast member. Kenneth Washington, who joined the show as Sgt. Richard Baker in season 6 as a replacement for Ivan Dixon's Sgt. Kinchloe, is still living.
Watch ever night on ME TV , knew that Robert was still alive Heard that day and was very sad to hear ....my dad loved Bob Crane , his murder really shook him up .....❤️
So, What's Larry Hovis? Chopped liver? Kenneth Washington (whom you show as Ivan Dixon) replaced Dixon late in the series. How about Howard Cain (Major Hochstetter), Leon Askin (Genreral Burkhalther), Bernard Fox (Colonel Crittendon) and Nita Talbot (Myria)? Guess the recurring roles don't rate a mention either. And then there's Hilda and Heidi, Klink's secretaries.
HOWARD CAINE (born Howard Cohen) was also a Jewish actor, who brilliantly portrayed that ruthless (and often clueless) Gestapo officer, Major Wolfgang Hochstetter. He added the "necessary tension" between his character and that of soft-hearted, gullible Klink. Note: In real life, Tennesee-born Caine (Cohen) had to get rid of his Southern accent, in acting school: and, in the process, eventually became an expert in "many different accents"-- both foreign and domestic.
Ivan Dixon left HOGAN'S HEROES to pursue a career as a movie director. THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR and TROUBLE MAN, although dismissed in the Seventies for being "blaxploitation films" are good enough to have earned Dixon a film retrospective a few years ago at New York's Museum of Modern Art. Incidentally, the pilot episode featured a Russian prisoner named Ivan, played by Ned Glass ("Doc" from WEST SIDE STORY) but the character was dropped when the first season aired in color.
My favorite recurring character was General Burkhalter, I loved it when he was on and the interplay between him and Klink was always hilarious. All the regular cast members were great, I liked them all. The interplay between Hogan and Klink was wonderful, and Hogan and his men were a great team.
Thank you so much for sharing your favorite cast member. We're glad to know that you love the show. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. If we may ask, which episode did you like the best?
You didn't mention Larry Hovis who was also on that program. Kenneth Washington is the sole surviving cast member. He replaced Ivan Dixon on the last season of Hogan's Heroes.
Yes, but Washington only played in 4 episodes in the last season, then went on a rampage after the show ended, whining and complaining about how he was "done wrong". Hovis on the other hand was truly left out of the narrative for some reason.
@@allan9603 🤫 You are confused about Kenneth Washington only appearing in 4 episodes of the final season. This is simply not correct. Sounds like you did not even watch the show!..
Every year for my birthday my dad and I used to sit down and watch a few Owens heroes episodes and it was like a tradition in my house.it's sad to know the last surviving member died on my birthday..
The cockroach was my favorite actor in hogans heroes, because he was a good chef and the one who always seem to be prisoners mascot or at least that's how I saw it when I was a kid
I liked how Bob Crane described the show as a combination of Man from UNCLE and Combat with a pinch of the Phil Silvers show …. It was a great show but Holocaust survivors thought the show was in poor taste however it was set a POW camp, not in a Concentration camp. Ironically, Werner Klemperer was an understudy when Stalag 17 was on Broadway as, what else?, the camp Commandant! You missed Larry Hovis who played the team’s bomb maker and scientist.

Why are you using a picture of Kenneth Washington for Ivan Dixon? remember research pays off even if it is for a UA-cam video. Do better. And FYI as somebody already stated Kenneth, Washington is still alive so there’s still one surviving cast member whether he was on for only one season or not
🤫 only the original pilot for Hogan's Heroes was filmed in black and white. Every episode after this was made in colour!. Pilots of new series were usually shot in black and white during this period. Then full colour if picked up by the network...............

Not all of them are dead, all of the Original cast members are gone but Kenneth Washington, who played Sgt Baker is still alive.
@Cheryl, Washington only played a few episodes of the last season, and complained about his role for years to come.
Not an ideal cast member.
They think Keith is Ivan Dixon, Damn bro!!!
You're Exactly Right.
Kenneth Washington Was
The Replacement For
Ivan Dixon.
Yet Every Original Star Is Gone
So is Nita Talbot, who had the recurring role of Marya.

He was my favorite That why I am taking french class in school
Not all the cast members have died. Kenneth Washington, who played Sgt. Baker & replaced Ivan Dixon on the show in 1970, is still iiving at age 76.
Ivan Dixon was also a director for The Walton's for some of them. Bob Crane was also a good drummer and showed off his talents a few times on talk shows!
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info about Ivan! Which episode of the show appealed to you the most?
I met “ Ivan Dixon “ waiting on tables as a young girl, he was with his wife 🙏🏽
There is even one episode of Hogan's Heroes where Bob Crane did a short drumming segment, as part of a scripted "skit" to entertain Colonel Klink, General Burkhalter, and other High-Ranking German officers.
You also failed to mention Larry Hovis who played the bumbling explosives expert "Carter" and what about the two actresses that played "Helga"?
Yeah.

For a formula show , based in a German POW camp , it had star power and pretty good plots .

You should get the whole DVD set of all 6 seasons. Get the "CBS" DVD versions. They have good quality as well as some bonus material.

Bob Crane's death remains a cold case.
Back in the day i remember it painted as having something to do with another mans' wife.
Classic W.W.II comedy! Everyone of them compliment each other's characters.

I always liked Gen. Burkhalter.
Nita Talbot is still with us. You're so right about the others. Also, it's "Helga", not "Heidi".
No one is chopped liver, but, as of 3/29/24, everyone but Kenneth Washington and Nita Talbot are deceased.

The funny Nazis! Why did you show Richard Dawson when you mentioned Bob Crane?
How do you Ivan Dixon and Kenneth Washington confused? And forget Leon Askin and Larry Hovis?
You showed 2 different Ivan's one was on for the last year only because Ivan went on to direct like the Waltons and other tv shows

Actor Ivan Dixion was the “ African American “ cast member and I met him waiting on tables as a young girl 🙏🏽

I saw Larry Hovis on the Flip Wilson Show. He was a great physical comedian and a great joke teller. He was damn good
It is really difficult to choice a favorite. I suppose my favorite was John Banner.
John banner, who played Sargeant Schultz died on his birthday on January 28, 1973 at age 63 following an abdominal hemorrhage. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
