Greg Kinnear did a fan-f*cking-tabulous job as Bob Crane. I watched Hogans Heroes when I was a kid and he totally makes me suspend my disbelief in this role.
If they ever make a bio movie of Robert Caro, Ron Leibman should play the lead. On the other hand, Caro and Leibman are about the same age so... not going to happen. But wow, he looks just like him!
Greg Kinnear and William Defoe make you feel the ickyness of this decadent lifestyle and its downfall of life as we know it. I remember Greg Kinnear from Talk Soup- He was hilarious. Amazing how people who excel in comedy can also do a 360 and do the opposite roles such as this one. "oh, with the funny nazis"-Even he questioned the show's content and possible ruin of his career.
Let's make a televison comedy based on one of the most horrific wars in history. MASH was a comedy, but they also showed some pretty intense episodes and you saw that they used humour to deal with the death war causes. And yes, it was the Korean War, not WW2- I don't need to be corrected and accused for saying stupid shit.
And this is funny how...? I stand corrected. A concentration camp it was not. A Prisoner of War camp in Germany during WW2. I wonder if the men who were victims of Germany and who were imprisoned during wartime by the Germans think its funny and are rolling on the floor with laughter. Oh but I am the one for saying stupid shit. Perhaps if the creators of this show were in one of the camps they might think differently and show some respect for the soldiers who lived it.
Maybe if he gave his career more thought and effort than his libido being satisfied, he may have been offered a role or two. I never got the premise of how a concentration camp was funny.
NIFTY TRIVIA: Though the show never acknowledged that they were based on Stalag 17 (never give credit if you can avoid it, its a lot cheaper, and producer Bing Crosby was a notorious tight wad) the plot was recycled for the pilot episode and Bob Crane was sold based on his similar look and style to Stalag 17 star William Holden. Not surprisingly, Greg Kinnear was chosen to play the William Holden role in the remake of Sabrina for similar reasons.

@countryhoney28 it wasn't a concentration camp, it was a Prisoner of War camp in Germany, do some research before saying stupid shit.

@88Willhur It was a Prisoner of War camp, maybe you should watch the show before talking shit.

Of course,Hogan's Heroes did end up hurting Bob Crane's career,as he never did recover after it got cancelled right up until the day he was murdered.

Will you please limit your plot description to "this movie's about the life of Bob Crane"? I just want to limit possibilty of spoilers.
