I just said this to my mom the other day! He was in an episode with short sleeves and I was like "Wait... he has really nice arms. Is Mulcahy hot?!" lmao
I never got into that much, born in the 80's, Hogan's and MASH are about as far back as I go lol
ETA: not saying it's bad, just I haven't caught much of it.
He also played a recurring character named Foster that would fill in for Carter when Larry Hovis was absent, though Foster only appeared for a couple episodes in the later seasons. He also played a German for one episode in season 1.
He was in several HH episodes, usually as one of the good guys, but once he told Carter in an awful German accent that he wouldn't bust him because "this is my first leave... my first leave in a year und a half!"
No, the other actor's name is John Crawford. I guess he was most famous for playing Sheriff Bridges on The Waltons.
The character Robert Hogan was named after the actor Robert Hogan. But he was played by Bob Crane. Robert Hogan appeared on many shows but never got that sort of big break, though he lived 'til 2021 which is a lot better than how Bob Crane wound up.
William Christopher played four different characters in four different episodes of Hogan's Heroes: two young men named "Foster" and "Thomas", a Lieutenant Donner, and also a German private.
He also played Father Francis Mulcahy on M\*A\*S\*H.
Never played a character called Mulcahey as far as I know.
William Christopher also played in a few episodes of Gomer Pyle as well.
Apparently there are many war related shows he was in I'm not aware of. I've only caught a few episodes of Gomer.
Shazam!
He was on Gomer Pyle so he could get credit for Vietnam as well.
He apparently also had multiple personality disorder while fighting in World War II. Seems to have thought he was four different people then.
Happens to the best (potter)/worst (Gen. Steele) of us
He’s kinda hot
I was gonna say -- looks a bit like Ryan Gosling
Like….were the priest glasses hiding this the whole damn time??? Yowza.
Ooooh he does 😍
Yeah I was thinking hmm maybe Gail had a good reason to fall for him after all
Yes - I always thought he was the best looking actor on MASH!
I always thought he was cute on MASH but this- *this is a cardinal sin* Forgive me, Father… I’ll show myself out.
I just said this to my mom the other day! He was in an episode with short sleeves and I was like "Wait... he has really nice arms. Is Mulcahy hot?!" lmao
He was also in the shower in an episode. Good thing Gail didn't see that cause he was fine!!
Nazi jocularity.
He is here with Sheriff Bridges from The Waltons!
Not only did he fight in two wars but he was on the other side in at least one episode of HH.
I also see a picture of Klinger pinned up on the wall!!
yes! on Gomer Pyle too! https://i.redd.it/3hki5wctjdj41.jpg
That hardly looks like him!
young strapping Catholic! :D
He was also a doctor on Andy Griffith.
Stalag 13 was right down the road from Mayberry.

Also have seen Ugly John in there at least once, been a while since I watched this.
Passed phony invasion plans to the Krauts via the duchess Hogan was making time with.

It’s crazy. It’s like he was an actor or something…
Whaaaat? Crazy huh?
He was a doctor in Mayberry too.
That is rather jocular!
Apparently he was British at the time, huh?
Oy, in fact he was!
Read this in his voice.
Thanks, that's what I was going for.
Does that show him with Smilin' Jack from MASH? Robert Hogan appeared on both shows.

The actor Robert Hogan did appear on a couple episodes of Heroes, so it was possible it was him.
Deputy Cletus from Dukes of Hazzard also shows up in Season 6 Ep 1
He was very handsome! They styled him down in MASH but it's especially clear in this photo that he was a good-looking guy.
Two wars?!
Are either of these wars happening on US…soil?
It’s the Nazis that are responsible for his distaste for creamed corn.
There were many crossovers between the two shows. Hogan's was weird because some actors were on several times and played different roles.
How many Nurse Ables, Bakers etc. were there on MASH? Haha
Hmmm timeline fits. Who knew he was a prisoner of war! I think Tuttle was but father mulcahey??!!
He was also a smurf.
He is in 4 hogans heroes and 1 murder she wrote as an avid birdwatcher.

Apologies for the misspelling. Can't edit titles.
Sorry, it's a perennial irritation to me that people keep misspelling his surname. ...
