I can find nothing on the web about this organisation. Has it really existed? Has it done anything of substance? -The Gnome (talk) 21:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Try the "Negro Ensemble Company", or the "Federal Theatre" in Harlem. Many notable African-American actors were alumi of the NEC, including Richard Roundtree of "Shaft". veryverser 15:40, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Veryverser —Preceding unsigned comment added by Veryverser (talk • contribs)

I just watched an episode of To Catch A Thief and Ivan Dixon played the part of General Castro. This isn't mentioned in his credits on the main page.

"Dixon played Kinchloe from 1965 to 1970, making him the only original actor on Hogan's Heroes not to remain for the entire series."

This is sort of true, but slightly misleading. He was the only actOR not to remain for the entire series, but not the only regular character. Klink's secretary, Helga, had been played by Cynthia Lynn in the first season, but was replaced with Sigrid Valdis (Hilda) for the remainder of the series. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by BurkeDevlin (talk • contribs) 19:38, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like Ivan Dixon played Soumarin (one of the good guys) with William Marshall (one of the bad guys) in Season 1 Episode 1 of "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.," Sep. 22, 1964. Pretty small roles for them both, but nice to see them again. 174.55.1.200 (talk) 18:03, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was he really Hogan's "second in command" and a translator of French? I remember him being more like Hogan's assistant [no white Allied soldiers at that time would have taken commands from a black] and why would they need a French translator when they had a real Frenchman?
