Ivan Dixon, communications officer at Stalag 13 on Hogan’s Heroes, has died at the age of kidney failure 76. Making his debut as Sidney Poitier’s stunt double in The Defiant Ones, Dixon had a number of Broadway credits, as well as films including A Raisin in the Sun, Nothing But a Man and Car Wash. He also played a doctor and guerrilla leader in the 1987 TV-movie Amerika about the bloodless invasion of the United States, who sings the Star Spangled Banner, a decade after it had been banned. Ignoring the questionable wisdom of depicting Nazis as those wacky German neighbors, Hogan’s Heroes was rare in having a regularly featured black character, not to mention one who was smarter than most of his white counterparts. He was also one of the first blacks to make a career directing in television, with hundreds of episodes of such shows as The Waltons, The Rockford Files and Magnum, P.I., earning a place in the Black Filmmakers Hall of Fame.
