#Quote
1If I tell a joke that's not so funny, I have a faster-than-sound plane which shoots it down before it reaches San Francisco.
2Eventually, what you're looking for is gonna happen, and by the time it does happen, you'll be that much better along the way to what you should be. Don't get discouraged, and just keep on plugging along, and what you want will eventually be yours. You know, there's nothing to stop it if you just keep on working hard. And by working hard, I mean doing the best job you possibly can. Everything happens for the best, and I believe it completely.
3When I was a kid, I fell in love with Spencer Tracy in "Captains Courageous." That, to me, was the ideal. A good man, a brave man. What I would want to be. I'm still in love with that.
4It's not a concentration camp. It's a POW camp. We're not making light of atrocities. We're just trying to show how darn clever the Americans were. It was easy to see which letter writers hadn't watched the program. No one could see "Hogan's Heroes" and think we were making fun of war. Our comedy is done with characterization. It's outsmarting the boss; it's the kid with a snowball when the top hat goes by; it's getting the best of authority.
5The first station I started out with was a 250-watt station. I went to a 1,000-watt station, which was the Bridgeport station... And from the 1,000-watt, I went to the 50,000-watt, which is quite a jump, and it has happened to a lot of people. It's a fortunate thing to be in the right place at the right time.
6I don't smoke, I don't drink. Two out of three ain't bad.
#Fact
1Bob actually played the drums in the theme song at the beginning of the show.
2Radio show ''zero hour '' 1974.
3Studied with acting teacher Stella Adler in 1964.
4His last movie appearance was in the Walt Disney movie, Gus (1976), where he played an announcer named "Pepper Pot".
5Crane was basically bankrupt during the mid- to late-1970's and, shortly after his murder, his estate would come into millions of dollars from a new syndication deal for Hogan's Heroes (1965), which he owned a small part of.
6On January 25, 1978, Bob Crane taped an episode of Celebrity Cooks (1975) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Crane's episode aired several times in Canada throughout the winter and spring of 1978 without incident. A network affiliate in the U.S. then purchased several episodes of "Celebrity Cooks" to run in syndication in the U.S. Crane's episode was supposed to lead off the U.S. syndicated run of the series, and it was scheduled to air in the U.S. on July 10, 1978. Immediately after Crane's murder on June 29, the episode was canceled. It was reported that Crane made numerous jokes about death, which would have made the episode too eerily prophetic. However, this claim was based on one network representative's uncorroborated opinion made just days after Crane's murder. "Celebrity Cooks" has officially gone on record to refute this false claim about Crane's appearance made by this network representative. Those who were there on the day of taping claim no such eerie or inappropriate behavior occurred, and that Crane was one of their best guests.
7Best remembered by the public for his starring role as Col. Robert Hogan in Hogan's Heroes (1965).
8The cause of death was bludgeoning with a video camera tripod. The video cable was wrapped around his neck postmortem.

11Hobby was playing the drums. He was a life-long jazz buff who played with several amateur jazz groups over the years.
122002: Was the subject of a "noise opera" by the experimental band Facetious (released on CD under the title "Raw Biscuits: The Bob Crane Story").
13He discovered singer Marilyn McCoo on the 1960s show Hollywood Talent Scouts (1965).
