Remembering Werner Klemperer
Werner Klemperer (March 22, 1920 – December 6, 2000) is best known for his role as the bumbling Colonel Wilhelm Klink, a role he only agreed to take on with the condition that none of Klink’s schemes would ever succeed and that he would always wind up looking foolish. Klemperer, son of conductor Otto Klemperer, was born in Cologne, Germany in 1920. In 1935, while he was a teenager, he and his family emigrated from Germany and settled in Los Angeles. He later served in the U.S. Army from 1942-45. He has 95 acting credits to his name, including an uncredited cameo appearance the Batman episode called “It’s How You Play the Game.” (below)
