"Stalag 17" Character Actor Richard Erdman 1925-2019 Memorial Video


Richard Erdman (June 1, 1925 – March 16, 2019) was an American actor and occasional director. He appeared in more than 160 films, television and theater productions between 1944 and 2017, mostly in supporting roles.


After a few smaller roles he achieved success as a character actor in supporting roles. In a career that spanned seven decades, his best-known roles are that of the barracks chief Hoffy in Stalag 17, and the garrulous, tedious barfly McNulty in the Twilight Zone episode "A Kind of a Stopwatch" ("...you think about that now!"). 




 He also appeared in The Men (1950) with Marlon Brando and the film noir Cry Danger (1951) with Dick Powell and Rhonda Fleming.




Richard Erdman died on March 16, 2019, aged 93, in an assisted-living facility in Los Angeles, California. He had been suffering "from age-related dementia" and recently had a fall.
