Nostalgia, you know, ain't what it used to be. Furthermore, they tells me, it never was.

Sacre bleu. That sucks. We loved that show back in the day.
I remember him on the Mike Douglas show showing the tattoos had had from the concentration camps.
I had no idea he was still alive. RIP.

Gotta love the fact that a bunch of Jewish actors got to satirize and mock Nazis like that.

RIP
Loved the show when I was a kid, and I had the lunchbox.
I think the only remaining cast members with recurring roles are the actress Nita Talbot who played the Russian spy Marya and the actor Kenneth Washington who played Sgt. Baker in the last season as a replacement for Kinchloe. Washington is quite a bit younger than the rest of the cast; he's in his mid-70s now.

And don't forget he was Robert LeClair on Days of Our Lives for a several years. My mom was an avid soap watcher. Wasn't there a DoOL connection with someone on this board?
Phideaux, perhaps?
^ He was connected to Generally Hospitable.
This makes me almost as sad as the passing of Larry Storch a while back.
