Oh, I didn't realize he made a cameo as a character, not as himself. I guess that's fine, though initially I was thinking about appearances by celebrities who play themselves.

@Jessica​ He played himself not the character Col Klink.

OK, but why does it say Colonel Klink in the cast list for the Batman episode?

@Jessica​ indeed, I am wrong

In a rather bizarre cameo, in Episode 26 of Season 2, "It's How You Play the Game," Batman and Robin run into Colonel Klink from Hogan's Heroes, played by Werner Klemperer. This is bizarre, of course, because Hogan's Heroes was set in a World War II prison camp and Gotham City in 1966 was, well, not that. Also, it is odd to see Batman and Robin chatting happily with a Nazi Colonel (who is in town searching for a spy—after Robin tells him to say hi to Colonel Hogan for them, Klink remarks that is a wonder that Hogan hasn't tried to borrow the Bat-rope to escape from prison!).

A longtime friend and colleague of Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, he was the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) until 2009[3] and is one of the world's leading experts on the astrophysical implications of Einstein's general theory of relativity. He continues to do scientific research and scientific consulting, most notably for the Christopher Nolan film Interstellar.[4][5] Thorne was awarded the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics along with Rainer Weiss and Barry C. Barish "for decisive contributions to the LIGO detector and the observation of gravitational waves".[6][7][8][9]

I see Master_Strange has picked Stan Lee. So I would pick Sean Connery.

I still know how the audience in cinema applauded, whistles and yelled for half a minute.

For god and King Richard!
