Werner Klemperer - 7261

German-born American
stage, film, and television actor and musician.

Klemperer and his family
fled Germany in 1935 with the rise of the Nazis. After serving in the United
States Army during World War II, he began his professional acting career on the
Broadway stage in 1947.

Klemperer's first major film role was as a psychiatrist in Alfred
Hitchcock's The Wrong Man (1956). He then received significant
acclaim for his role in the award-winning 1961 film Judgment at Nuremberg,
in which he played a Nazi judge on trial. He played another Nazi, Adolf
Eichmann, in the 1961 film Operation Eichmann.

Klemperer is most famous
for his portrayal of the comedy Nazi, Colonel Klink, on the American television sitcom Hogan's Heroes, a role he won in 1965. The series aired for six seasons
with Klemperer receiving a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting
Actor in a Comedy Series nomination for each year, winning the award in 1968
and 1969.
