Combat
Posted By thecircusblog on October 4, 2012
The ABC television series Combat stared Vic Morrow and Rick Jason among many others. The episodes started in Oct of 1962 and ended in 1967. This show was a great workshop for many up and coming actors. In 1965 I was cast as a German solder in one of the two episodes that I worked in. The photos came from film strips that were given to me by the production people. This particular segment was one of their best episodes. The story line was that Vic somehow got behind enemy lines and in his attempt to get back to his men, which was quite difficult, all of his attempts were in vain. He was captured by yours truly…. ruffed up a bit and then I marched him to a German haft track and off to a stockade. All of the actors that played German parts and had lines must be able to speak German. The better your German was the better the part. This scene is right after I turned Vic over to the stockade guards whose backs are toward the camera. I then turned and walk to the haft track, at that point a cut to the next shot.
