He got his US start with Leonard Sillman and starred in "New Faces" with a list of future stars like Paul lynde, Carol Lawrence and eartha kitt.
Odd that I was just thinking he was the last one left from that film...

Sad, I always liked him on the show and really liked the show and still watch it. Rest in peace.

The NY POST has a writeup about him. I had no idea what he survived...
Quite a life...

They hadn't mentioned he also appeared in the film Hindenburg. Werner Klemperer and John Banner were also Jewish. I guess that's what makes good actors, having the role come first. Rest In Peace.

And to add a musical note, Werner Klemperer was the son of Otto Klemperer, a leading 20th century orchestral conductor.
