Sgt. Schultz - one of the great character roles in history

In our collecting of old movies, we have found several of them with John Banner in various roles. He looked very different back then - thinner and, of course, younger. His acting was decent, but certainly not distinguished. Then he was chosen in the 1960's for the role of Sgt. Hans Schultz on the TV show Hogan's Heroes, and history was made. Rarely in the history of acting has an actor and a role come together so successfully. Although there were other fine efforts on that program, it was Schultz who made the show and stole the hearts of the audience.
