Jacoby Genevese
One of the last remaining cast members of the great sixties program Hogans Heroes has dropped dead the other day as the little character playing the french Louie Labou died of old age. Robert Clary like all of the cast members served his role and did a great job and he was often the butt of sort jokes which he took in great stride and the diverse cast members of the Allied soldiers in a concentration camps was a
unique and controversial setting for a comedy. Louie Labue was a little horn dog but often too little over-looked and surprisingly there were many opportunities for the POWs to have opposite sex encounters and in season three episode 14 or 17 Louie Laboue looked passable in drag as Hogan;s Heroes all went in drag to get pass enemy positions and in anothe Clary could of been a formal impersonator if not a award winning actor.
Little Labou had a knack of getting along with the German Shepherds more than the Germans on this show and this man actual was a Auschwitz concentration camp survivor during World War II surviving two appointments to go to the gas chambers and undoubtedly this man used his ability and talent for humor and vaudeville to prevent the gas shower. To say Robert Clary's ability to make people laugh underscores the point and it was ironic his most memorable role in acting consisted of this labor and death camp which he actually experienced and it was a comedy to boot.
