Music had an influence on the acting of Werner Klemperer.
followed. But Klemperer is
probably best known as Col.
Klink, the zany Nazi of
Hogan's Heroes, a popular
'60s television comedy set in
a POW camp during World
War II.
Talk of Klink seems to irk
Klemperer, who has had his
share of questions over the
past two decades about por-
traying a Nazi for laughs.
"The show was a satirical
parody," he says, pointing out
that the show took place in a
POW camp rather than the
concentration camp many
people imagined the setting
to be.
"I really thought Hogan's
Heroes was cleverly done. It
was about the good guys ver-
sus the bad guys. We handled
it quite well. The only pro-
blem I had with the show —
and I made sure it didn't hap-
pen — was that Klink never
be a winner."
It must have worked.
"Millions of people," says
Klemperer of the viewing au-
dience, "can't all be wrong."
Indeed, Klemperer feels
wronged by those who may
contend that his playing a
Nazi is an insensitive act. But
as he explained his portrayal
of Eichmann, "I am an actor.
The fact that the character is
that far away from me as a
human being makes it even
more interesting."
His portrayal of Herr
Schultz is interesting and in-
tricate, far different from the
one offered by Jack Gilford in
the original production. "Jack
played it more Eastern,
ethnically Jewish," says
Klemperer. "He was cuddly
and cute and charming."
Klemperer's interpretation
is more the German patriot
betrayed by the anti-
Semitism about him.
"Schultz is a very sym-
pathetic, warm person," says
Klemperer. "When you get a
chance to play such a person,
it can never hurt you as a per-
son."
It also doesn't hurt — in-
deed, Klemperer enjoys it —
playing in a musical such as
Cabaret. "It's a lift for me for
the whole two hours," he says.
"I feel very blessed that a per-
son like Regina Resnik," a
prominent opera star, "was
chosen for her part. It makes
my life more pleasurable."
Klemperer's eyes are open
to the world around him; he
has been open to musical ex-
periences for as long as he can
remember. "I really am the
kind of person who can't live
without music," he says. "My
whole being is consummated
with hearing music."
Indeed, music has had a
noteworthy influence on his
acting. "If you work on a
given scene," says Klemperer,
"and try to find some kind of
form, you can relate it to some
piece of music. It's profes-
sionally very helpful; music is
the most sublime way of ex-
pressing feelings."
