Hey guys,
Just to let you all know, this is an assignment from Mom, not something I actually thought I'd sit down and write about. Anyway, here goes, my favorite character from the TV show, Hogan's Hero's. :)
If I had to pick one character to be my favorite, I would have to say Newkirk, just because he's always funny and willing to do something dangerous for his country, although I do like all of the characters in the show.
Here's what Wikipedia says about the actor: "Richard Dawson (born Colin Lionel Emm; November 20, 1932 – June 2, 2012) was an English-born American actor and comedian, and a game show host and panelist in the United States.
Dawson was well known for playing Corporal Peter Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes, being the original host of the Family Feud game show from 1976–1985 and 1994–1995, and a regular panelist on the 1970s version of Match Game on CBS from 1973 to 1978. After a successful career in British television and cinema, Dawson moved to Los Angeles. In 1984, he became an American citizen while remaining a British subject.
In 2012, Dawson died of complications from esophageal cancer. He is buried at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles."
^ Now there's a talented man! Just got my parts order for my sled, so I'm going to go start bolting the engine back in that in a few minutes, so I'll talk to you all later.
Jacob. :)
