I remember the real Klink, Werner Klempererer guest starred on Simpsons in 1993 and Law and Order in 1992, it was always nice to see him around so long after the show ended.

I saw him on an episode of Vega$ but didn't recognize him. It nagged at me so much "Where have I seen that actor?" When I finally realized who he was I was shocked.

Werner Klemperer was best known as Colonel Wilhelm Klink: the bungling, cowardly, conceited, and self-serving Kommandant of Stalag 13 on Hogan's Heroes, which was broadcast on CBS from 1965 to 1971. Klemperer, conscious that he would be playing the role of a German officer during the Nazi regime, accepted the part only on the condition that Klink would be portrayed as a fool who never succeeded.
