John Banner (born January 28, 1910 in Vienna, Austria; died January 28, 1973 in Vienna) was an Austrian actor. He was best known for his role as Sgt. Schulz on Hogan's Heroes.
Being Jewish, Banner spent time in a concentration camp before being released out of Occupied Germany. Lucky for him, the time which he spent in the concentration camp, Nazi policies had not yet changed.
John Banner's film credits include over 40 films and over 70 television appearances including Mr. Ed, The Partridge Family, The Lucy Show and Perry Mason. He had a small role in a color episode of The Adventures of Superman, playing a somewhat hapless character that to some extent anticipated his Sgt. Schulz characterization.
Banner passed away of an abdominal hemorrhage on his birthday in 1973.
