Robert Hogan’s Career!

During his career, Hogan appeared in over 100 primetime episodes as well as practically every daytime drama on television.

“Hogan’s Heroes,” “The Donna Reed Show,” “The Twilight Zone,” “I Dream of Jeannie,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “Gunsmoke,” “The Manhunter,” “Operation Petticoat,” “One Day at a Time,” “Peyton Place,” “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” and “The Wire” (as retired shipwright Louis Sobotka, Frank Sobotka’s older brother) are among his numerous television credits.

Hogan had a more than coincidence name connection to “Hogan’s Heroes,” a CBS sitcom in which he appeared twice as a guest actor (in 1965 and 1970).

Colonel Robert Hogan was named after a friend of show co-creator Bernie Fein, according to Brenda Scott Royce’s book “Hogan’s Heroes: Behind the Scenes at Stalag 13.”

Even the genuine Hogan was considered for the major role of a wise-cracking senior-ranking POW.

According to the book, “name alone was not enough to secure Hogan the post of his colonel namesake.” “At the time, Hogan was an unknown actor, and CBS wanted to cast a ‘name’ actor.”

Actor Van Johnson was given the part, but he declined, and the position was subsequently filled by Robert Crane, who played the character from 1965 to 1971.

Hogan featured on several episodes of “Law & Order,” including a guest appearance on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” in 2011 and two episodes of “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”

“The Young Marrieds,” “General Hospital,” “Days of Our Lives,” “Another World,” “As the World Turns,” “All My Children,” and “One Life to Live” were among the daytime soap operas on which Hogan worked.

Gavin MacLeod, star of ‘Love Boat’ and ‘Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ has died at the age of 90.

He portrayed a variety of roles, ranging from helicopter pilot Lt. “Smilin’ Jack” Mitchell on “M*A*S*H” to a Marine in Aaron Sorkin’s “A Few Good Men” on Broadway’s original cast.

Hogan was so ubiquitous that he receives a shout-out in Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” in which Leonardo DiCaprio’s Rick Dalton praises “Bobby Hogan” while watching him guest star on a 1965 episode of “The F.B.I.”
