RIP Ivan Dixon

My dad will be interested to hear about this, he was a huge Hogan's Heroes fan.

RIP MR. DIXON. another part of our TV past that will never be again.

Rest in Peace Ivan Nathaniel Dixon III. I sure enjoyed the many hours of entertainment you gave me with your character: Staff Sergeant James Kinchloe, on Hogan's Heroes as well as the many TV episodes of many shows that you Directed. This is a sad day.

Thanks for the news, SX. Interestingly enough, when I went to read about him on IMDb, they hadn't put in his death yet.

RIP, Ivan!

I really liked Mr. Dixon and his time on Hogan's Heroes. I always wondered why he left the show the last season, and also wondered what he did afterward. I have all six seasons of Hogan's Heroes and love all of them. But the last season just didn't do enough for me with Ivan not playing his part.

No explanation of his departure, so does anyone know why he left and did that cause the shows cancellation after the sixth? Seeing the last show it seemed that they were ready to make a season 7. I also liked him in Raisin in the Sun.

RIP Ivan Dixon.

Hi mike, I think Ivan Dixon left the show because he wanted to become a Director. I don't know if that is true or not? but I remember hearing about this sometime ago on one of the late night talk shows when they were interviewing Werner Klemperer. Anyway, that's something he had mentioned while there and it was on the Tonight Show w/ Jal Leno.

PS, I too have all six seasons of Hogan's Heroes and love the show..
