r/HogansHeroes

Larry did lots of plays back then. Larry acted in quite a few kid's matinees on Saturdays. I was never a fan of his musicals because he and my sister, Joan, sang at the top of their lungs at the house. I had already heard their songs, over and over for weeks.

In Klemperer's Hogan's Heroes contract he mandated that the Nazi's would always be the fools and absolutely no blood and guts episodes. Keep it funny and silly was his idea for the writers.

Ivan Dixon left the show for several reasons including his belief that his character wasn't going anywhere. He directed several episodes and became a successful director. Ivan directed The Rockford Files, The Waltons, Bionic Woman, Magnum P.I., McCloud, The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, The Fugitive and many more. I talked with him a little but Larry told me to just listen to him. Just about the smartest actor on the set, in my opinion.

I’m so obsessed with this show. I was thinking of that if I had the means, the money, and the rights to the IP, what would I put in a film adaptation of it (if I were to make it between now and five years in the future)

So I made a line-up of potential actors, with the suggestions of past posts and comments from this sub. Realistically, the movie would have at least 2 currently popular actors, and the rest not. Originally wanted Hogan to be a popular actor, but I can’t pass that guy up, so rn I only have Kinch as the character to have a popular actor (hope you guys understand that 🥺)

I wanted it to be as plausible as possible, so I’ve gathered actors based on current popularity, age, and actors capabilities! Please give them a read! And tell me if you have some more good possibilities for any of the ones I have, and especially don’t have!

I added as much info about the actor as needed! And my reasoning for choosing said actor.

Suggestions for Burkhalter, a better actor choice for Kinch, and the others would be great!
