I don't know if many remember him, but he played Corporal LeBeau on the show Hogan's Heroes. He passed today at the age of 96. The last surviving member of that show. I read that he was a survivor of the Nazi camps during WWII
Very sad. Hogan's Heroes is one of my all time favorite sitcoms. I had read that Cleary was a concentration camp survivor. Seems ironic he'd agree to play a role as a pow on that show.
Yes, I remember Cleary from the show and over the years saw a number of newspaper articles about presentations he gave about his experiences in the Holocaust. :(
