John Banner (28 January 1910 – 28 January 1973), born Johann Banner, was an Austrian film and television actor. He is best known for his role as Master Sergeant Schultz in the situation comedy Hogan's Heroes (1965–1971). Schultz, constantly encountering evidence that the inmates of his stalag were planning mayhem, frequently feigned ignorance with the catchphrase, "I know nothing! I see nothing! I hear nothing!" (or, more commonly as the series went on, "I see nothing, NOTHING!").

Biography

Né à Vienne dans une famille d'origine juive, John Banner passa un certain temps dans un camp de concentration et fut libéré, avant que la solution finale ne soit mise en place par le régime nazi.

John Banner joua le rôle du sergent Schultz, sergent de la Luftwaffe, détaché à la garde de prisonniers de guerre alliés. La peur que lui inspire le front russe dans la série le rend tour à tour sourd, aveugle voire complice des actions des prisonniers de guerre.

Il avait acheté un vignoble en Dordogne pour sa retraite.

John Banner se trouvait à Vienne pour enregistrer un disque pour les enfants lorsqu'il mourut d'une hémorragie abdominale le jour de son 63e anniversaire, en 1973. Il fut enterré au cimetière Mauer de Liesing, à Vienne.

He masquerades frequently as the deposed prince of a small European country, seducing wealthy women into donating money and jewellery to his revolutionary "cause". Meanwhile, Corporal Freddy Benson (Marlon Brando) is a small-time operator in the US Army stationed in Germany, an expert at conning his way into the hearts (and wallets) of young women with sob stories about his sick grandmother. His attempt at seducing the daughter of a local burgomaster backfires when her father arrives home early, and Freddy is nearly arrested until he blackmails his Colonel into giving him an early discharge.
