[edit] One of Hogan's Heroes
Dixon may best known for his role as POW Sergeant James Kinchloe, stationed at Stalag 13 in Germany during World War II in the hit TV series Hogan's Heroes. Sergeant Kinchloe's role was the communications officer; he would frequently be ordered by Colonel Hogan (portrayed by Bob Crane) to encode a message and send it to Allied Headquarters in London, the Submarine, or to the German underground. Dixon played Kinchloe from 1965 to 1970, making him the only original actor on Hogans Heroes to not stay for the entire series (Hogans Heroes finished in 1971).
