Dawson, also known to TV fans as the Cockney prisoner-of-war Cpl. Peter Newkirk on "Hogan's Heroes," died Saturday night from complications related to esophageal cancer at Ronald Reagan Memorial Hospital, his son Gary said.

Didn’t he introduce Bob Crane to, John Carpenter, the pervert who would later kill him and leave his brain on his car?

I’m sure he hated being in Ronald Reagan Hospital. Dawson was a big time liberal.

If Carpenter is the guy I’m thinking of, it sure looked as if he killed Crane but nothing could be proven. In addition, JC, on his death bed was given a chance to come clean if he did murder Bob Crane and said he did not (FWIW).
I could be mistaken.

He was outstanding in Hogan's Heroes,Match Game and Family Feud.I love watching those Youtube videos of stupid game show answers...him asking an Air Force pilot “name one of the Three Bears” and the pilot says “Yogi”...great stuff.
To: kingattax
Rest in Peace.
I liked him in Hogan’s Heroes and The Running Man.
