So well deserved and the right choice, but how in the heck did Greg Morris get nominated??? Werner and Don Knotts were two of the best television character actors ever.
I can barely make out the writers he named. Richard Powell who he called Dick, Arthur Julian and Phil Sharp are the names i can distinguish. Laurence Marks ended up contributing too many scripts imo. Whenever I see the writing credit at start of show and it isn't Marks, I know the script is going to be fresh and funny. Marks wrote good scripts and for other shows as well but I think he really ran out of ideas for HH. The other guys wrote inspired scripts in lesser qualities.
He died before I was born but still had a great impact in my life. 'Wilhelm Klink' was one of my first role models.. Loving, kind, respectful... I'll never forget that/him He was the best actor I've ever seen
I just love this guy. He was so elegant and un-2020-like. His demeanor and speech will tell you all you need to know. And for a guy who was never a comedic actor, he was funny as hell as Colonel Klink. Never watched this show till a couple months ago, and now I can't get enough of it!
Morris, Nimoy, and Klemperer--all three truly deserved the award, but unfortunately only one could be the winner. No regrets at all that Werner won. Wonderful people, all of them! Mission Impossible, Star Trek, and Hogan's Heroes were such awesome shows!
I thought it was very classy of him to mention all the other co stars in the way he did. And although he was deserving of the award, it's hard to imagine John Banner not winning the same award because anyone who has seen Hogan's Heroes would probably agree that Sgt. Schultz was easily as important and good a character as Klink was.
Terrible to overlook Dixon. At least Dixon won his own Emmy for something outside of Hogan's Heroes. Such a great talent, including directing and singing.
